Usually they will cry until they are tired and they will sleep!
After they wake up they may continue to cry! Let them cry, until they obey!
I search on web! There is no law prohibit how long we can let our child cry!
3. It is our responsibility to find a way to make our children obey!
We can’t afford to let our children grow up to be trouble makers!

4. So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Ac.3:5
5. Then Peter said: Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. Ac.3:6
6. Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up,
and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. Ac.3:7
