I am currently preparing for my Bible story for the kids tomorrow.I'll be sharing them the story about "The Prodigal Son". I was browsing for pictures and suddenly I came across with this topic "Twenty Common Ways Parents Provoke Children to Anger". This is an article from www.characterjournal.com.
