Broken Tea Pot

The downside to having your children be a by product of you, is that they get your qualities. Good or bad. It is quite unfortunate and frustrating when it is the bad. Nobody wants that and nobody wants to deal with it. But you have to!

Soph has this fit of rage. When she is frustrated, she yells. When she is mad, she yells. When she doesn't want to do something she is told, she yells. At one point, she even threw things, hence broken tea pot. So I ask, where does she get this kind of behavior from??? It seems that all fingers are pointing to me. How disappointing and sad.

So we are working on her. We are telling her that it is not ok for her to act like that when she has those feelings. She is trying. There are good days and bad days, but mostly days of crying. Poor thing. It must be hard to not be able to express how you feel.

By the working of the Lord, I am no where a "rager" as I use to be. God is good and we are banking on the Lord to do His work on her too. I can't wait to see His handy on her!
