June brings new parenting challenges as schedules shift and kids spend more time at home, requiring us to be intentional about how we correct and discipline. We explore a scripture-based approach to discipline that yields "peaceful fruit of righteousness" rather than leaving lasting emotional scars.
• Discipline should be "for the moment" not something that echoes through generations
• Ask "what was their intention?" before correcting a child's behavior
• Children make mistakes as part of their learning process, not to personally hurt us
• Check if you're responding based on feelings or facts
• Take a pause before reacting emotionally to a child's behavior
• Be mindful of your own unhealed wounds that might affect how you parent
• Breaking generational cycles requires intentional change in how we correct
• The same principles apply to how we guide colleagues and team members at work
• Summer should be filled with more laughter than tears in our households
