Last night, we started a new family devotion on obedience. Brooke has really been testing us lately and we have not been as strict as we need to be with her.
Trey started out asking Brooke if she knew what obedience meant. Brooke's answer was, "timeout." We explained to her that she has to go to timeout when she is disobedient. We then tried to explain obedience and told her it meant doing what you are told to do immediately. We then talked about the people she should obey. She understood obeying her parents and teachers, but I think she was a little confused when we told her she should also obey God.
After our lesson, Trey asked her to go clean her room. She immediately did it and was pretty good the rest of the night. I am hopeful that if we remain firm and consistent, we will see improvements in her behavior.
We will continue with the theme of obedience for at least a week if not longer. We are using kidsofintegrity.com.
