  • 25. Helping Children Make Lasting Changes
    A Break is an effective tool to motivate heart change in a child. It usually takes some time to develop this routine, but do the hard work, and you’ll use it regularly for years to come. Furthermore, your child will grow up learning the value of settling down and making heart-level changes. You may not see significant improvement right away, but keep at it, and over time your child will grow into a person who is able to make a mature response to correction. During this episode, parenting coaches Dr. Scott Turansky and Elena Zwetsloot are sharing practical advice and ideas on how to best support your children and how to focus on the end parenting goal, a changed heart.

  • 24. Making Every Discipline Time Constructive
    Sometimes parents believe that once they’ve given consequences to their children, the job is finished. They’ve done their duty and fulfilled their responsibility. Unfortunately, tension often remains. Discipline is not complete until the positive relationship between the parent and child is restored. A Positive Conclusion is simply a discussion you have with your children after they act inappropriately. The discussion is a debriefing time to clarify the problem, talk about a better response, and restore closeness in the relationship with them. During this episode, parenting coaches Dr. Scott Turansky and Elena Zwetsloot are discussing how to make sure that each discipline time ends positively and that cooperation and responsiveness increase over time. We offer practical advice and ideas on how to best support your children and how to focus on the end parenting goal, a changed heart.
