Nobody wants to punish their kids. This week we explore some thought on punishment. Do you bring the hammer down, give love or a combination of the two?

I thought I'd share some creative ways my dad used discipline his 8 kids.

One of the keys things is that my dad always taught us to apologize, to take responsibility, to treat each other with love, kindness and respect.

Dad's remember that it's ok to apologize when you go over board. Take a walk, cool down. Remember it’s ok to be human. You are learning just as much if not more than your kids. Remember no matter what your kids do show increased love so that the develop love and respect for you rather than fear.

Thank you for listening! I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments or questions contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] check out the rest of the SpeakFyre family
