Love and relationships
Patience with children
Accompanying children with calm, especially when they make mistakes or rebel.
What the Bible can tell you
You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
Colossians 3:21
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
A human reading
Raising children patiently does not mean having no rules, but setting them with love. Children learn more from what they see than from what they are told. Asking forgiveness when you are wrong also teaches.
