Today on the Podcast :

In this mini-episode, host Stacy Bellward shares a helpful 7-minute clip from Session 4 of Connected Families’ Discipline That Connects online course, where Jim and Lynne Jackson offer a perspective shift: misbehavior is actually an opportunity for unconditional love. Every parent knows the frustration of dealing with the same challenging behavior over and over—and how easy it is to unintentionally communicate “you’re a problem” when what we really want our kids to hear is “you are LOVED no matter what.” Drawing from Jesus’ example, Jim and Lynne share practical strategies for discipline with love, helping you show up in a way that keeps the connection going.

Key Takeaways:
  • When kids regularly misbehave, parents can naturally feel frustrated, which can lead to communicating unintentional messages
  • Including affection and empathy during challenging moments helps to promote unconditional love
  • Mentioned Today:
    • The Table Monthly Community Giving Program
    • Discipline That Connects With Your Child’s Heart Online Course
    • Discipline That Connects With Your Child’s Heart – Book

      In Case You Missed It:

      Whatever you need right now, Jesus is enough—He is your peace in chaos, your strength in weakness, and your wisdom in uncertainty. Last week, we dove right into becoming a safe parent, discovering how one grandparent practices meeting the needs of the moment just as Jesus meets us in ours, in Parent-Child Connection: From Shutdown to Safety.
