This is a tough subject to talk to kids about and sometimes kids don’t even ask about it. It is the subject of Life and Understanding Life. I got the privilege to answer this subject with my kids a little while ago. I can’t remember how the topic was brought up but I 
know I didn’t bring the topic up.
If you ever think about this topic, you already have found out there are several emotions attached to it. In this case it was about why my father-in-law was not with us anymore. My oldest is the only one alive before my father-in-law died. The younger kids never met him when he was alive. My wife still tears up about this subject as I do as well. I remember it was a very hard think to talk about.
I believe this was brought up since there was two kids this year in my oldest daughter’s class that lost one of their parents. This is the first time any of my kids have to deal with death at school and it happened twice in the same year.
Please feel free to leave comments below on your experience with your kids on talking about Life and death with them. I would like to hear them to make sure I approached the topic correctly with my kids.

My girls like to talk all of the time. They talk so much that they don’t get their toys picked up in a normal time span or even missing the bus in the mornings due to getting into a long conversation with each other.
My wife blames me for this and tells me they got the consent talking from me. I’m the same way. If I start talking about a subject that I’m really interested in then I can talk for hours and they are showing this characteristic.
As much as my girls talk, I’m still glad they can talk and communicate normally with me and my wife. There are several parents out there that have to talk to their kids in a different way besides talking.
I never really recognize how much I talk until my daughters were born and started talking. I wonder if I have ever annoyed any one for talking to much. If I did, then I’m sorry for annoying you.
Please feel free to leave comments below on your experience with people that talk to much in your family. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Proverb 15:1 is one of my favorite verses in the bible. I try to think and remember this verse every time I get angry and mad at something. Being a father of four young kids, this is almost a daily occurrence. Reacting to something while you are mad almost always end up putting you into a worst position then if you calmly approach the issue.
The main thing this verse teaches you is to approach any situation with a calm attitude and the results will end up being better than if you approach it with anger. Next time when something makes you angry, approach it with a calm cool head and see what happens.
Here are three different bible translations of Proverb 15:1.
Proverbs 15:1
New International Version (NIV)
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
1A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
English Standard Version (ESV)
1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
