Here's my two cents: 1. Pray for wisdom. God knows and cares about each detail. He will help you and give you specifice ideas for individual children and for their needs. He is so faithful.<BR/><BR/>2. Read lots of books by James Dobson. or authors he says are good. I have Bringing Up Boys by him. I also have Mothers and Sons by Jean Lush. There is one I want to get called The Five Love Languages of Teens. I'm not sure who the author is.<BR/><BR/>3. Go to my sister Sharon's blog at roseofsharonmay it's on my side bar. She has four boys who are happy, respectful, hard workers, they love God, and I mean really love the Lord. She has gone through lots of stuff and has prayed through and sought the Lord over each trial with her boys. God has blessed her and given her answers. <BR/><BR/>I have asked Sharon many times what to do. She always points me to daily prayer over children, especially early morning before anyone gets up. She writes the needs down and then puts it in red or stars it when God answers. <BR/><BR/>Bless you Gina. The Lord is with you and He cares about this situation and He knows all your needs. <BR/><BR/>Bless you sweetie, KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123430890236503375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441620641003567669.post-48678247852169571132008-04-24T07:53:00.000-07:002008-04-24T07:53:00.000-07:00Ugh...I'm dealing with some of the same stuff.

It's so frustrating and sad and I try to not to give in to the feelings of parental failure. I suppose it could be worse, but sometimes it feels huge. <BR/><BR/>I'm finding that I've been praying for my son probably more than I ever havemer@lifeat7000feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169865790593225070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441620641003567669.post-6877191585836609382008-04-23T22:56:00.000-07:002008-04-23T22:56:00.000-07:00MILITARY SCHOOL!?!MILITARY SCHOOL!?!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995343913821606086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441620641003567669.post-48279527929084086522008-04-23T20:57:00.000-07:002008-04-23T20:57:00.000-07:00I haven't a clue.
