When discipline aims at quick fixes to the behavior, it tends to be:
- Short-sighted
- Random
- Punitive
- Unpredictable
Kids feel confused, and even emotionally unsafe, because they never know what to expect. And when their brains feel unsafe, they rarely learn what you want them to learn.
But when parents learn to discipline with a grace-filled, long view in mind, their kids develop identity according to God’s grace and truth.
