In this video, Becky Bailey summarizes many of the key points of this chapter and discusses the shift this approach takes towards loving guidance. I connect most with the idea that conflict brings the opportunity for learning! Children's "misbehavior" is their way of communicating with us... and through these actions they are learning safe/unsafe, right/wrong, socially appropriate/inappropriate, etc. Every interaction we have with (and even around) kids shapes their mind and teaches them. This chapter has helped me to reflect upon what I hope MY actions are teaching children.
Here are some initial questions to guide your responses, or just provide your initial thoughts about this chapter in the comments section below:
-How does this approach to discipline differ or compare to your own approach with your kids?
-What parts of this chapter did you personally connect with, either though your own experience or with your children's experiences?
-What beliefs and values do you hope to adopt?
-What seems challenging to you?
