CONTROL OF UNRULY CHILD
Question—My boy is very hard to manage. If he can tease, or quarrel, or be mean, he feels in his element.

ANSWER—Resistance is the keynote to this whole situation. The boy resists the Law, and you are resisting his resistance. Place your son mentally in the center of Divine Consciousness, and recognize that every negative quality is transmuted into a positive quality of good. Realize that your boy is a perfect individualized part of the perfect whole, that he is surrounded and permeated by the power of Love, that it is invincible and fulfills ALL Law. Your work done consciously, being stronger than his unconscious MISUSE of power, will bring about a change in his mental attitude. Keep your work secret, and do not be discouraged if (page 93) it takes a little time before results appear. Know that Love makes easy and desirable all activities toward the growth and development of every individual; therefore, he (your boy, naming him) is in perfect harmony with himself, with his schoolmates and with his home.

Say: "The Spirit of Love in him makes him kind. It softens and eradicates every hard attitude, for n0thing unlike Itself can stand before Its transmuting power. My word is spoken for his freedom from all bondage and limitation; and I know there is nothing in him to hinder its perfect fulfillment."
