On patience with rambunctious children
My
child, be patient with your children. What can we do? Of course
they are rambunctious, but they cannot be otherwise. In any case, we must
be patient. Do not let things pile up in your soul; do not demand
details. For by constantly worrying, you will harm your health and that
will be worse. Just overlook their shortcomings and increase your prayer,
for prayer works miracles. And then miraculously, without exertion, they
will become calm and quiet children. Many children were very rambunctious
when they were small; afterwards, however, they became wonderful in
everything. The rambunctious children are usually smart, too, and they
may achieve much.
