Discipline is an expression of love. If you deeply care and love someone, you guide and help them walk towards the right path.
As parents it is our duty to teach our kids to behave so they grow up responsible and God-fearing adults. And it takes patience, time, effort, and love.
But how can we be sure if we’re disciplining our children effectively? How do we do it in a grace-based and God-centered way?
To help you get off your discipline rut, Connected Families founders and parenting experts Jim and Lynne Jackson, joins us to talk about discipline that connects with your child’s heart! They’ll also provide steps and practical examples to help you think through a grace-filled Biblical parenting approach!
A discipline that connects and works may be challenging & new for you but it’s not impossible.
