Great article. I think we can too easily forget that the home life creates such a foundation of peace and love in our own individual identities. We let the mundane day in and day out of it take low priority over numerous other things.
I like the phrase you used of parents typically "scolding instead of explaining." When there's explanation as to why or how actions/attitudes/behaviors are wrong, it empowers them to actually overcome it. A much better way to get to the root of the problem and call them into a higher way of living.
