Discipline That Connects With Your Child’s Heart

An online Christian Parenting Course to tone down the chaos and create a more peaceful home

As a parent, do you sometimes feel…

Angry?

Overwhelmed?

Stuck?

Mean?

HOPELESS?

You are not alone.

Parenting is a non-stop responsibility, and you’re right in the middle of it! When your kids misbehave, it’s all too easy to respond by getting big, mean, and loud.

Maybe you’ve tried to be thoughtful and intentional in responding to misbehavior. Yet you keep returning to the same ingrained patterns. It’s hard to break the negative cycles!

The Framework

CF Framework 4Actions4Messages 1

The Framework

The special sauce of the Discipline That Connects online course is our Connected Families Framework. This framework was created using principles of brain science, biblical teaching, and years of personal and professional experience.

In Discipline That Connects, you’ll learn how the Framework combines grace with truth. And mercy with accountability. The Framework equips you to love your kids unconditionally while teaching them to take responsibility for their actions.

As you learn and implement the Framework for parenting, your kids will feel:

  • Safe
  • Loved
  • Called and capable
  • Responsible for their actions

This eight-session online Christian parenting course will give you the tools you need to parent well!

At the end of the course…

You will be saying:

  • “I can go to bed feeling great about my interactions.”
  • “God has grace for the times when I (and my kids) mess up.”
  • “I can see God’s handiwork in my child in ways that I didn’t before.”
  • “I have experienced God’s unconditional love for me, and I understand better how to pass that on to my child.”

And your child will have internalized these messages:

  • “I am SAFE with Mom/Dad.” 
  • “I am LOVED no matter what.”
  • “I am CALLED and CAPABLE.”
  • “I am RESPONSIBLE for my actions.”

About the creators of the course

Jim and Lynne Jackson created this Christian parenting course after a lifetime of personal and professional experience. 

They saw that the typical behavior management strategies would never bring about lasting change. Instead, in reading everything they could about child development, discipline, and biblical truths, they discovered that through a deeply connected relationship, parents build influence with their children that ultimately leads to change in behavior.
