    Fine Tuning Discipline | FOP 16
    Mar 7 2022

    When you come to the end of your rope in disciplining your child, never get mad.
    Get even.
    A clever parent doesn’t have to be mean to be understood.

    What comes to your mind when I say ‘discipline’?
    Do you think of punishment? Restrictions?
    Maybe how you had spankings or time outs when you were a kid?
    If you look in the dictionary, you’ll find this: dis·ci·pline -- the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.
    Did you catch that?
    “The practice of training people…”
    That’s what I’d like us to focus on—because this isn’t about pain, or inflicting things on our children. This is about teaching them and training them.

  • Providing Hope | FOP 15

    Providing Hope | FOP 15
    Mar 7 2022

    The greatest hope for the future, is in the proper raising of the next generation.

    ‘Hope’ is an important word to a parent.
    “I hope my child understands.”
    “I hope my child gets good grades.”
    “I hope my child will be able to get into a non-bat-crap-crazy college or better yet, a trade school.”
    “I hope that smell of dog crap isn’t my child walking across the carpet.”
    “I hope that wasn’t MY child who spray painted the cat purple.”
    Hope keeps us going when so much seems to let us down, and allows us to cope with variables better.
    But I’m here to tell you that your WHY can fill you with that hope, when you see your labors over time come to full fruition.

    Staying Motivated | FOP 14
    Mar 5 2022

    An average parent endures.
    A good parent sees worth.
    A great parent enjoys each and every moment for what it truly is—the privilege of shaping hope for the world around them.

    The challenges of being a parent don’t always come directly from your children. Many times it’s the outside forces and the variables that wear us down, put a pebble (or ten) in our shoes, or flat out hit us in the face. Having to deal with variables makes staying focused, being consistent, and keeping that smile on our face quite a challenge.

    Today I want to talk about something most parents do not consider, about themselves, that could change that frown into a smile.

Entertaining and informative

This guy is a class act and truly insightful when it comes to parenting.

this is funny and it only left me wondering where this guy was when I first started having children.

it's never too late to decide to be a good parent and he makes it much easier.
