Teachable Moment - Sept 2004: Seven year old Sharayah; I dont even know what she did or said but it was along the lines of But I dont want to and she was reprimanded verbally and she left to do what she did not want to do. TEACHABLE MOMENT: take advantage of it. I stopped her on the steps and wanted to talk to her. I told her that we all have to do things we dont want to do and that it is not a good idea to express angrily that we dont want to obey. DADDY - When the policeman stops you for speeding it isnt a good idea to say in an angry voice; BUT I DONT WANT TO DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT! And when you are at work and your boss tells you to do something a certain way... even if you know a better way to do it, you have to say; OK and do it the way he wants you to. (Sharayah raises her hand but Im getting to my main point) DADDY - Just a minute Sharayah. And when we read the Bible about what God wants us to do. It may even be something we dont want to do, but we are to do our best to just say; OK and do it anyway. OK; Yes Sharayah, what did you want? SHARAYAH - Boys work harder than girls. So Im not going to have to worry about working.....Ill let my husband do that. (and she trots off to do her chore)
