Dear God. . .Please help me be a good boy. I want to be obedient to my parents!
You are a good boy, Miguel! One of God's Ten Commandments is to honor your father and your mother. And what better way than to want to be an obedient son! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. There are a lot of reasons children misbehave. Sometimes because — they're kids! But other times it's because of things they have no control over. Problems at home can show up as bad behavior in school, in church or when they're at a friend's house. They just don't know how to deal with the issues of life. Your gentleness, a caring word, even just noticing them can have a huge impact on a child. Help a child to be — good! This is Wess Stafford, speak up with compassion — for a child in your world.
