How to Deal with Discord in the Home

Anyone who has spent time around children has probably wished for the non-existent unique, individual, child raising manual. Parenting books are nice, but the examples do not always fit each child or have solutions for every meltdown. Whether you grew up in a home with twelve people or three, you will have experienced discord at some point. Perhaps you experience it more now in your home than you did growing up or vice versa. There is just no one-size-fits-all solution.

Of course, as parents we seek direction on how to create a home filled with peace. We have all read Mosiah 4:14 which says, “And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil who is the master of sin…”

I have beaten myself up with guilt over this scripture when my children argue and fight. Telling them that they are serving the devil as they scream at one another is like attempting to blow out a bonfire. I am convinced that the teaching comes after the conflict.

At one point, my two sons fought so badly that my daughter sobbed to me that one was killing the other. I knew that was not the case but in her sweet little heart, she was traumatized, even to the point of waking in the middle of the night in tears. It was those precious tears that finally dug into my oldest son’s heart. He still gets angry with his brother, but he has learned to walk away and be angry by himself rather than fight with his brother. It may be a small step, but it is progress, nonetheless.

When tempers are running high, I find that I need to separate the players, giving them a chance to “walk it off.” After a little while, I will often put on beautiful primary or church hymns that bring the Spirit. I have found it is most effective to have a “debriefing” to talk about what happened and recognize what we could have changed for a better outcome. I ask them whom they were thinking of when they made their choice. The answer is typically that they were only thinking of themselves. When appropriate, their consequence is to serve one another. The apologies usually come without me having to do anything more. Does it always work? No. Family life is not perfect. We learn as we go.  

 The most important thing we can do to deal with discord is to invite the Holy Ghost, allow them to feel His presence which will be the only one that softens their hearts. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said the following to families raising children, “May I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord, you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you. He knows that your giving birth to a child does not immediately propel you into the circle of the omniscient. If you and your husband will strive to love God and live the gospel yourselves; if you will plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit promised to the faithful; if you will go to the temple to both make and claim the promises of the most sacred covenants a woman or man can make in this world; if you will show others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.”1

I am grateful to know we have access to a loving Father in Heaven who will guide us as we seek His help in obtaining peace in our homes as we deal with temporal struggles.

  • I’ve been trying to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment, I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Please assist me in thanking him and his contacts are listed as follows;

  • I recently hired a highly skilled cyber specialist to address some hacking issues, and the experience was outstanding. This professional expertly handles tasks like clearing negative online records without any trace, boosting credit scores, and recovering compromised social media accounts. They also offered services such as mobile device cloning which helped me catch my cheating partner, cryptocurrency recovery, and call/location tracking. Their work was genuine, reliable, and professional, with affordable and secure pricing. I highly recommend reaching out to them for any cyber-related problems—they’re a true expert in the field.

  • DO YOU REQUIRE TECHNICAL SKILLS TO SOLVE YOUR HACKING RELATED PROBLEMS?
    All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across CYBERHELPDESK which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life . I recommend you consult CYBERHELPDESK88 @ gmail.com or whatsapp +1 (209) 809-0176 if you need access to your partner’s phone or any kind of hacking, they carry out all kinds of hacking jobs

  • Losing possession of one’s Crypto currency to Scam Investment can be a devastating thing to experience, the fact that, it is almost impossible to recover a Stolen or lost Crypto coin, hurts more than anything. When a person gets scammed of their money while investing in a crypto currency platform the only thing they can think of is how to report the company and get back their money.
    Most victims of the scam, contact their wallet account provider, their bank or the law enforcement, few end up hiring a lawyer to sue the company but after all this stress they still can’t get their money back.
    For a fact, I’d state that, anyone who finds he or herself in a position, needing to get back their cryptocurrency from the bogus investment companies, should reach the Agency who are taking it to the chin by helping victims get their crypto currency back to their wallets. Best way to do this, is by sending a mail to their support center or Text them on:-

  • BITCOIN RECOVERY TESTIMONY: How I Got My Funds Back After a Major Crypto Theft.

    Earlier this year, I went through one of the most devastating experiences of my life— My digital Asset wallet was compromised in what cybersecurity experts refer to as a “Dark Skippy” attack. It was a highly advanced and stealthy breach that completely wiped out my crypto portfolio in total of $1,425,000.

    The sense of loss and helplessness was overwhelming. I had no idea how it happened so quickly and worse.

    I didn’t know if I’d ever see that money again. I spent weeks looking for solutions— contacting platforms, forums, and supposed “recovery agents,” most of whom turned out to be scams themselves.

    Then, I came across a company called TROJANHACK Cyber Security Company, and everything changed.

    They were professional, highly knowledgeable, and transparent from the very start. Using the latest in advanced hacking software and forensic tools.

    they were able to track the stolen funds across several wallets and trace the movement of my crypto with impressive accuracy. Their team not only located the stolen assets but also successfully recovered every last bit of it.

    More than just recovering my funds, they went a step further by helping me secure everything through advanced wallet protection strategies. They even provided me with basic cybersecurity training, so I now know how to better protect myself from future attacks.

    Thanks to TROJANHACK, what started out as a financial disaster turned into a full recovery. I’m beyond grateful, and the least I can do is recommend them to anyone out there going through the same nightmare.

    If you’ve lost crypto due to hacking or scams, don’t lose hope. I’ve been there and I got it all back. You can reach them via email:
