[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”.

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