Disciplining our children is hard, especially when emotions run high. In this episode of Tired But Called, host Dani Kinchen explores the common pitfalls of discipline and the pressure parents feel to practice “emotion regulation” in the heat of the moment. Why is discipline so emotionally difficult for modern parents, and is simply “taking our emotions out of it” really the answer?

Drawing from Scripture, Dani reframes discipline through a Christ-centered lens. You’ll hear encouragement from God’s Word on why loving discipline matters, how it benefits both parents and children, and how God promises peaceable fruit when we press on faithfully. This episode introduces a simple heart-check that helps parents stay grounded in their calling to raise disciples.
