Grace for the Rule-Breaker: Looking Beyond the Behavior | Episode 476

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Even parents almost break their own rules—like putting muddy boots on the kitchen table! Dr. Roger Smith explores why children violate family standards and challenges parents to differentiate between rebellion and simple carelessness or distraction. This episode encourages a shift from "iron fist" discipline to a mindset of curiosity and grace. Learn how to ask what’s happening inside your child before reacting to what’s happening on the outside, and discover the power of extending the same grace to your children that you give yourself when you make a mistake.
