That's not to say that time outside fixes every problem.
There have been plenty of times that it has simply been a relocation of the bickering.
There have been times that I brought them all back inside,
just as frustrated, tired, and overwhelmed as when I went outside.
I think most mamas are aware that there is NO instant fix to childhood character issues.
We mamas need to stop searching for and expecting one.
We're investing in their training one moment and decision at a time. This is sloughing through the hard times and navigating through messy situations with the Lord at the helm.
We can do little, common sense things that help our children. We can help their minds and bodies be healthier so that it's a little easier for them to obey and be kind.
