When your child misbehaves, how you respond in that moment can either help your relationship or damage the relationship.

And with six kids, I have spanned the gamut there. I have responded well to things like

cars being broken or appointments being missed because of carelessness, I have not responded so well to carelessness

that breaks something that I treasure or intentional acts of damage to my home.

So I've been there done that pretty much the whole range of responses.

And that's why I'm talking to Danny Wertha today

because it's really all going to be about me and my

journal it's not about me and my journey but you can relate I'm sure.

I'm John Fuller along with Danny Wertha or Vice President of Parenting and we've been hearing, our vice president of parenting.

And we've been hearing from the last couple of episodes

from Dr. Gary Chapman and Jim and Gene Daly.

And last time, they shared about balancing love

when you employed discipline.

And here's Jim kind of carrying that out a little bit further.

Let me frame it a little bit like this.

For the moms and dads listening, where you have that stronger willed child you

have you know they require more attention how do you reset constantly you know how do you get a hold of your own emotions, so you're not losing it?

I think we have to say to ourselves, I don't want to ever discipline my child out of anger.

Yes.

Because if I do, it will come across as I don't like you, I don't love you.

You're an awful person.

And so it's a time-out thing, I think.
