Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Be kind and compassionate to one another…
Ephesians 4:32a
Jesus modeled kindness and compassion for us. In turn, as parents, we can model those Jesus qualities for our children. I love how Lael Stone talks about modeling this for our children in this short clip from a TED Talk entitled “How To Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children.” We know it’s working when we see it in our children!
