A common kid-problem is anger over parents not giving him something or not letting him do something that he wants, especially when the other kids have it or get to do it. The good parent does this from love, knowing what is best.
Parents bear the brunt of their child's drama (anger/wrath/disappointment), then deal appropriately with that too.
Likewise, Christians as God's children, mature by trusting that whatever God withholds or removes--even good things that He gives to some of His other children--is good and best.
Furthermore, whatever difficulty He puts in our life instead of the easier good thing or situation, is also best.
How much more peaceful the family and deep the relationship between child and parent becomes when children calmly, lovingly trust and obey their all-knowing, all-powerful, and good Father.
