Episode Summary:

Chris and Johnna tackle their takeaways from chapter 6 of the Triggers book: whining and complaining, admittedly one of Johnna’s biggest anger triggers in parenting. They also reveal how trying their four kids have been and the ways in which they are learning to apply what’s learned in this book.

Show Notes:

• the art of the uh-oh
• uh-oh reminds kids they made a mistake without the negative criticism
• behaving right when our kids behave wrong
• the hypocrisy of correcting their behavior by doing the same behavior
• ministering from a place of serene authority
• realizing our kids are little and still have maturing to do
• using God’s word like a scalpel and not a hammer
• acting like a child of God to be examples for our children
