Highlights of what you’ll learn:

[0.00] Intro

[1:34] Foundation

Create a foundation that grounds your child’s identity and purpose in Christ.

[2:20] Connect

Communicate love to your child so that they can’t miss it. “I LOVE you and ENJOY you!”

[3:20] Coach

Don’t wait for misbehaviors to build your child’s character; instead, create opportunities to help them gain wisdom and purpose.
Follow Jesus’ example of asking thoughtful questions.

[5:49] Correct

Change your focus from punishment to gentle reconciliation.
Effective discipline puts the responsibility on the child to make right what they did wrong.

[8:15] Discipline that Connects

The goal of discipline is not to manage your child’s behavior, but to shape their belief about themselves. Their behavior ultimately flows out of their identity. “I’m a problem” vs “I’m the solution”.

[10:17] Sibling Conflict / Peace Process

Helping kids to value reconciliation and the joy of their sibling relationship.
