First time obedience is having your children do what you want them to do, when you ask them to do it. Is it a lofty, unattainable goal? No, it really isn’t. And there are three great reasons to work toward this standard.
The first is basic safety. How many times have you seen a child turn and run away when he is called? The parent chases down the child, laughing at how cute it is.
