You know when your children face something difficult it can be really hard for them to

express what they're feeling or going through with the right words and one of the best things

you could do is to be there for them even if they're

having a hard time saying what's going on inside.

I'm John Fuller along with Dr. Danny Werta.

He heads up our parenting department here at Focus and we're going to

return now to a conversation with Becky Harling. She and Focus President Jim Daly spoke

about how she and her kids have worked through some pretty tough moments and seasons.

Becky, let me ask you about your grandson Noah. I think he had some kind of explosive reaction.

I'm glad to hear your very normal family by the way. What did

little sweet Noah do? I know he was precious. So we were, he was like, oh man I want to say three at the time. He was little and he has a little sister 20 months

younger and he had worked really hard on an art project and little sister got jealous or whatever

and came up and scribbled all over it and he was so sad and so mom took little sister off

Noah flipped the chair and was yelling and I was like Noah do, do you know how to say the word frustrated?

And he stopped for a minute, he looked at me and I said,

say, I'm frustrated.

And he said said I frustrated I didn't think he got it later that day I was

explaining to him you know when somebody does something like that it's okay to

feel frustrated so say you're frustrated

let me ask you why you're raising your kids and this is a tender part of your book

Becky while you're raising your kids and maybe you can let us know how old the

kids were at this time.
