I’ve often heard parents say, “I’ve done everything right.  How come my kids going sideways on me?”

It’s possible that you’ve felt that way, too.  If you discipline by the book … your kids should turn out to be picture perfect.  Right?  But what happens when it doesn’t work?  And let me tell you … in today’s culture, those ol’ recipes for parenting almost never deliver what we expect!

When kids don’t respond the way we hoped … maybe it’s time to shift our approach.  What isn’t working in your home?  How can you adjust your style?

For now, scrap the false notion that doing everything right will fix your family.  Try something new.  And never, never, give up!
