You might have had a time when you ask your child who you know is fully capable of dealing with this request.

You ask them to do something, a chore, and they say say I don't want to or I don't have to

We've had this occur with our kids everything from small little clear the table to do your homework I remember one time one of my kids

was in like six or seventh grade I said you've got to do this homework and these

eyes come looking at me saying no I don't I thought they don't they don't have to do the homework I mean so

parenting can present such wonderful opportunities to stimulate your prayer life and to learn

how to be more like Jesus. That's why we're here today. That's what this podcast is all

about. And I'm being sort of serious about that. We want to take the high road in our parenting and

that's why we're talking to Dr. Danny Werta today. He heads up our parenting team

their guides, their trusted guides in this journey. Danny because you're one of those trusted guys it means you

never had any sort of issue with your kids and chores a responsibility.

No, it never happens in the work time. So this is a friend. Yeah, yeah, it's a friend

out there. It's absolutely. I mean the reality is healthy

conflict is so helpful for the home and here's where healthy conflict can come in.

Your child refuses to do something, and I've had that,

where I remember Alex telling me, no, I really don't want to do that.

It wasn't in defiance.

He didn't want to do it.

He was just being honest with you.

And I said, well, you need to do it.

This is something that you're going to have to do now.

And we're going to be here together while you get this done.
