Q: What do you do about situations with siblings when one tattle-tales, yet what the sibling they’re tattling on is doing probably isn’t best. It’s like, I don’t want to reward the tattle-tale behavior, but also, how do I let a sibling that was doing something *wrong* get away with it? It’s very tough and I pray for leading in this.

You don’t have to settle for this!! Having teenagers can be one of the most gratifying experiences as a parent. I know you have what it takes! Remember that this may be one of the most important tasks of your whole life. If the Lord

1/4 cup Water
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup Aloe Vera
