Ephesians 6:1-3 are commonly quoted: 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
But how often do we talk about Ephesians 6:4?
4Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
We need to be considerate with our children.
They may not want to answer 20 questions the minute you pick them up from school. Instead, wait until they have a snack and wind down a bit, then ask them how their day went. If you look for the best opportunity and wait for the right time, you will have much more success and much less tension in your relationship with them.
