Summary
Many of you who have read our books know that Clay and I are very relationship-based in our approach to children. As we looked to Christ for His model in how He reached the hearts of his disciples, so we wanted to develop a close and deep with ours. Yet, I think because every parent wants to do everything right, they often become susceptible to whatever parenting book they get their hands on first, seeking to find a formula for disciplining children.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:37.4 | Hello my friends, I hope you're having a great day today. This is Memorial Day and Clay and I are just |
| 0:44.0 | having our normal day. There's something about not being able to get together with some of our |
| 0:50.2 | friends and also not having our kids here that just makes today a time to be able to get a lot |
| 0:55.2 | of things done to prepare for some of our children who are coming home, which we're very excited about. |

| 1:16.2 | Hey, hello everybody. Clay is kind of a reticent podcaster. He's the most amazing thinker in the world. |
| 1:23.1 | As you all know, you've benefited deeply from his writing. And so he has so much in his plate that |
| 1:30.2 | I'm just very grateful to be able to do this today. So this is how we're celebrating Memorial Day. We're |
| 1:35.7 | memorializing our parenting. But I've been getting a lot of letters over many years from people who |
| 1:45.2 | want to know what is the formula for disciplining and training your children? How do you do it? And of course, |
| 1:53.9 | when you get into that, we just would love to make it easy. We would like to be able to think we're |
| 2:00.1 | doing the right thing. And of course, our wonderful children afford us at many points because they each |
| 2:07.5 | come with a unique personality. Some of them are extroverts, some are introverts. And so I thought |
| 2:14.8 | it would be worthwhile just kind of telling you today the journey that we took in terms of learning |
| 2:22.2 | how to parent and why we are very passionate about the conclusions that God brought us to. And in |
| 2:28.8 | spite of the fact that we were not perfect parents, no parents are perfect, no children are perfect. |
| 2:35.1 | We really see a consistency in the hearts of our children that they were willing to respond overall |
