Six Discipline Mistakes Parents Make :: Ginger Hubbard [EP35] - a podcast by Sharon Kon

Do you find yourself threatening, repeating your instructions or raising your voice in an attempt to get your children to obey? We’re glad you’re joining us today as Ginger Hubbard talks about 6 Discipline Mistakes Parents Make. Her talk encourages us to take a more biblical, heart-oriented approach to training our children.
“Children should be taught to obey because it’s right and it pleases God.”We must remember our goal is not merely get our children to outwardly obey, but to reach their hearts with the gospel of Christ. When we adopt faulty child-training methods aimed at behavioral modification only, we miss the heart issues and the point of biblical discipline in the first point. 
“Use heart probing question to help them to evaluate their behavior for themselves.”Ginger shares examples of different scenarios based on the six discipline mistakes. Here are a few pitfalls we must guard against:
