Every parent has problems controlling his or her children occasionally, even in Sabbath services. One member quite seriously told her minister, "I know I'll miss the next two years of services now that I have a new baby." Is this the fate of parents with young children?

By the way, these principles can help you have happier, better-mannered children every other day of the week as well.
