Healing Wounds: Breaking Generational Cycles

June brings new parenting challenges as schedules shift and kids spend more time at home, requiring us to be intentional about how we correct and discipline. We explore a scripture-based approach to discipline that yields "peaceful fruit of righteousness" rather than leaving lasting emotional scars.• Discipline should be "for the moment" not something that echoes through generations• Ask "what was their intention?" before correcting a child's behavior• Children make mistakes as part of their learning process, not to personally hurt us• Check if you're responding based on feelings or facts• Take a pause before reacting emotionally to a child's behavior• Be mindful of your own unhealed wounds that might affect how you parent• Breaking generational cycles requires intentional change in how we correct• The same principles apply to how we guide colleagues and team members at work• Summer should be filled with more laughter than tears in our householdsJoin us for prayer at 1:00 and 7:00 today if you're standing in need of prayer.Support the showLearn more about our events, prayer groups and watch video replays on our Grace and Grit Media website.
