"Good parents allow their children to exercise their moral agency, then calmly and patiently let consequences do the teaching.
Well-meaning parents who have tried their best should avoid the temptation of using their children's behavior as the measure of their success as parents. If children's behavior were the sole measure of good parenting, our Heavenly Father would not qualify.
We should never let Satan fool us into thinking that all is lost. If our lives are centered upon Jesus Christ...nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and his teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right."
-Dr. Glenn Latham, author of Christlike Parenting.
