Disciplining our children is one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. As a new mom, I found myself constantly avoiding those tough moments of correction because they stirred up so many difficult emotions and left me feeling utterly inadequate. Maybe you've felt that same sense of defeat after yet another power struggle with your child—wondering if you missed some crucial parenting class that everyone else seemed to attend.

In this episode we'll look at the differences between discipline, correction, and punishment, offering a grace-filled perspective. Discipline isn't just about enforcing rules; it's about discipleship—walking alongside our children and showing them the way. When we understand that correction is simply putting something right that's out of alignment, and punishment should have natural connections to the behavior, our approach shifts.

The four key principles shared in this episode changed my parenting journey for the better: getting crystal clear on what you're actually training your children to do; building a relationship strong enough to sustain correction; believing your child genuinely wants to obey you (even when all evidence points to the contrary); and leveraging natural consequences instead of arbitrary punishments. That third principle was particularly helpful with me one son who seemed determined to challenge every boundary I set.

What if your child's seemingly rebellious behavior isn't rebellion at all, but simply immaturity that needs patient training? What if the power struggles you're experiencing stem from your own perspective more than your child's heart? These questions helped me move from frustrated anger to connected leadership, and they might just transform your parenting too. Listen in for practical wisdom on reaching your child's heart while maintaining healthy boundaries, creating a home where both grace and truth can flourish.
