We also have a neighbor who called the police when her 14-year-old boy blew up the entire balcony. Batyuška then spoke to him twice, and the truth became easier. Дмитрий прав.
It was the same with us, my son broke half of the cellar when he was 15 and I had no strength left. The conversation with the priest really helped, but only when the boy himself opened up a little. Tomáš, did your neighborhood boy also go to church, or was it just those two stories?
Here in Strumica, a neighbor called the police two years ago when her son threw all the jars of compote from the balcony. Batiushka later sat down with the boy two or three times to talk, it wasn't easy, but he slowly calmed down. Veronika, in your case, did the boy just ask to meet the prince or did his mother still have to push him?
Наш сын в 16 лет тоже разнёс полку с банками, когда мы с женой были в храме. Вызывать полицию не стали, а вот отец Георгий потом три раза с ним поговорил после службы — помогло, хотя не сразу. Интересно, у всех ли это только через священника срабатывает или кто-то и без него обходится?
Our grandson went through something like that at 15 — smashed a whole shelf of my pickled tomatoes in the basement. We didn’t call the police, but Father Michael sat with him after liturgy a few times and it really did calm things down. Makes you wonder how many of these boys just need one steady adult who’ll listen without losing his temper.
The neighbor's son here in Volos last year broke two jars of jelly when he was 15, but we didn't get to the police. The priest spoke to him after the service twice and they calmed things down, but not immediately. Is it true that only with the priest it is solved or have you seen other ways?
Yes, things like this often happen here in Strumica. With us, after the first conversation with the prince, the boy just started coming to church, we didn't have to push him much. And your neighbor, does the boy now help at home or is he still at a distance?
Our neighbor in Moscow also called the police last year when her 15-year-old son broke all the jars of cucumbers in the kitchen. Father then talked to him twice after the service, and it really did feel better, although not right away. Did anyone manage without a priest or always through him?
Yes, here in Ohrid we had something similar with a boy from the neighborhood, he threw the jars of ajvar against the wall. Batiushka actually sat with him several times and slowly he calmed down. Stefan, what about your neighbor, does the boy help in the garden now or is he still staying away?
Here in Ohrid, there are also such boys who, after a conversation with the priest, start coming to liturgy on their own. Simona, you said interestingly about Strumica. And your neighbor, has the boy started to at least listen to her a little or is he still staying away?
Yes, that's right, father knows how to find a word. At our neighbor's house, the boy now helps a little in the garden, at least he brings water from time to time, but he still stays away when we are older. Igor, how long did it take the one from the neighborhood to calm down completely?
