In ten minutes you have just explained what i have read in five books on parenting. Thank you, this is what i was so afraid of when my daughter was younger breaking her spirit.

I wish I had found this video 15 years ago. Wow I can see where I have gone wrong and pray God will direct me with my 2 young children.

I grew up with my mother listening to Dr. Charles Stanley (she still does). And now when I've become a parent, here I've come across the same. May God bless this ministry

I gotta remember to not act out of frustration and anger!
And to use the proper words.

had tears in my eyes while watching listening to this video.  I love my daughter so much.  i want to be very careful to discipline her everytime she made mistake.  because i know so well that God is so merciful and loving to me even when i disobey Him sometimes.

I always wondered if my spirit was broken as a child. My dad was so strict on ne never allowing me to do anything. I was never allowed to do things other children did. I couldn't go to a ballgame or a sleepover except for one time and my dad was outside to pick me up early in the morning as we woke up. It was humiliating for me. He thought he was punishing the school system by not giving me an extra 25 cents for snack time when they raised the prices. I had to choose what i got each day. A drink or snack unless id save my money and get both. To tyis day im afraid to speak up and defend myself. I never kniw what to say out of fear. Parents please understand your child needs discipline but not too much to where it hurts the little ones that much. God bless all the little children.

THANK YOU!!! SUCh a blessing for me to hear this!! I've got a bachelor in psychology and at wits end with my almost 5 year old (split family). Secular parenting teachings are ruining our children. THIS was directed at me from the Father. God Bless you.

The first time ever that discipline with love is explained in a way that i could understand what is meant. Thank you

[hephzibahmakhetha]

Wow! Coming from the family that I come from it seems strange to apologise to kids after disciplining them. Made me think. Thank you

[jennifergeorge]

I am a young adult on the brink of leaving the house and this made cry. My father in specific has done all the things you said not to do😔 he is sooo negative towards me and my siblings that his shear presence is suffocating.

[noonashie]

I'm so glad I chose to watch this among those that came up in my search. I really needed the guidance and reminder. I've been asking myself why I'm so frustrated lately and been praying a lot for patience. I've been searching the bible but I know someone wiser has to explain it so I would understand better. Thank you for this video. God bless us all.
