In this episode of CLF Conversations, we're tackling one of the most debated topics in parenting: discipline—because let's be honest, every parent has asked, "What do I do when my toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of Freddy’s?” or "How do I get my teenager to listen without sounding like a broken record?" From babies who somehow know how to test limits before they can even talk, to toddlers who think "no" is a suggestion, to teens who have a black belt in eye-rolling—we’re covering it all. And of course, the age-old question: To spank or not to spank? Buckle up, parents—this one’s going to be a wild (but biblical) ride!
