This was so encouraging to read! How motivating to keep at the work of training my children because it does matter! I’ve been asking myself the ten year question all week. Sometimes a single thought like that can keep you on the right track! Thank you for writing!

I really appreciate this blog! I especially love this particular one.

I often find myself looking at reoccurring behaviors and wondering how to effectively address them. After a few years of being a parent now, I’m learning that a lot of it is leaning on God for wisdom. Practically applying is sometimes a season of trial and error too.

Oh girl! Yes, just yes. I call it the ten-year-rule and I apply it in so many ways but mostly I ask myself that same question your wise friend suggested to you, “What does this look like in ten years if I do nothing about it now?” Sometimes this question helps me not overreact … and other times it gives me confidence in dealing with a situation that seems small now but has potential to become huge if left unchecked.

Thank you for sharing!!
