Sounds like your response was spot-on. I have found that if you give in and do what they want, either by retaliating violently or by skulking away, they continue.

One of the first verses I teach our children is Ephesians 4:32: "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."Meghan Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171644527417702921noreply@blogger.com
