Kids require correction.  From their toddler years to their teenage years, they need guidance and discipline.

For the most part, I meet parents who have discipline down pat.  They know how to instruct, enforce and correct.  But where they fall short… is the relationship.  They tend to mistake arguments for conversation and living under the same roof for spending quality time together.

But without having a deep and lasting connection with your teen— before the need for discipline arises— you’ll find your eloquent lectures entirely ineffective!

If your relationship with your son or daughter is broken or damaged… take time to repair it.  Your pearls of wisdom can only be received when it comes from a foundation of a healthy relationship.
