O Lord, make me a better parent. Grant me the wisdom to respond to my children with love and respect. Teach me to understand my children better, to listen to them patiently, and to answer all their questions with honesty and gentleness.  Forbid that I should never laugh at their mistakes, or resort to shame and ridicule when they do something that displeases me.
