Your wife has been asking you to change and you've resisted. You're on the path to losing your kid, your wife, and half your income. Take literally 6:54 and get 5 quick tips that may just change your family.

When I was a reactive "freak Dad" back in the day, here is what I was really saying to my son:

"I need YOU to behave right now and do what I say...because if you don't behave, I am not sure I can behave...and you do not want to see me angry."

Instead of controlling myself, I was asking a child to manage the emotions of his father.

Ouch. So I hope this is a gentle nudge and encouragement to work on controlling yourself, not your kids..

Really want to stop the power struggles with your kids? Kirk has a challenge: for the next 3 days, control your own anxiety over your child’s behavior and watch what happens. Lecturing kids tells them, “You aren’t capable of being successful without me.” When you get on your kids about every little thing, they don’t thank you for being so conscientious! They fight you. When you react to them pushing your buttons, they are now in control of you! The truth is that YOU create so many power struggles over issues that don’t matter. All because of your own anxiety. So let’s break this generational pattern for good!
