Today on the Podcast :

Discover the transformative difference between a goal of punishment and restoration in this episode featuring Jim and Lynne Jackson from the Discipline That Connects With Your Childs Heart course. Learn how natural impacts like letting a child experience the consequences of forgotten homework without adding parental punishment teach responsibility far more effectively than nagging or arbitrary consequences. This grace-filled, biblical approach shifts the parenting goal from punishing bad behavior to restoring relationships and empowering kids to make things right.

Key Takeaways:

  • Teach true responsibility through natural impacts
  • Effective discipline puts responsibility on the child to right their wrongs.
  • The primary goal is restoration, not punishment.
