Every child wants attention from their parents.
Unfortunately, most parents only focus attention on their children when they misbehave. When this happens, subliminally, the child starts to relate misbehaviour with attention. And since he or she craves attention and the only way to get it is by misbehaving, we see many children developed a habit of misbehaving which becomes a life style, then a destiny.
Do you want your child to exhibit good behavior? Catch him or her doing something good and focus attention on them at that instance.
God gave Yeshu’a so much attention to the extent that He said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” – Matthew 3:17.
And because of this positive attention we read in Acts10:38 that Yeshu’a “went about doing good”.
