"Let us look upon every brother who tries or vexes us as God's means of grace, God's instrument for our purification - an opportunity for our exercise of the humility Jesus our Life breathes within us." (Andrew Murray in Humility)
I tend to think of these kinds of insights as only for adults, but they are not. If we teach our children these lessons early, they will be less tried and vexed - and more happy and free. The great challenge of parenting, as I see it, is to communicate these things in language that 3 and 4 year olds can understand - and to manifest the reality in our own lives.
