"Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name. Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me."

A Positive Message



"When training is done properly, it should always end on a positive note. A child who directly disobeys mom in the grocery store should not be yelled at or have to ride home with an angry mom. This sort of discipline does not show unconditional love and careful instruction. It sends the negative message, "I am not pleased with you" for the child to ponder. Our desire should be for the child to ponder what he could have done right rather than what he did wrong." - Ginger Plowman "Don't Make Me Count to Three!" A Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline
