9 Tips to Make Godly Discipline Stick with Your Kids
Rhonda Stoppe
Speaker and Author
You may be thinking, Teachable moments––I get it. But who’s got time for that? I’m just keeping my head above water and trying to keep my kids from killing each other.
I get it. Parenting is hard, really hard.

Amidst daily parenting, there seems no end in sight. Then, one day, before you’re ready for it––they’re gone. Your nest’s empty and you long for when your house hummed with the hustle and bustle of family life.
Hindsight is always better. I wish I knew then what I know now. In the trenches, it’s hard to see the value of daily disciplines that sap your energy and make you so sick of hearing your own voice.
Can I get a witness? If I could go back and give a pep talk about discipline to my young mom self, here’s what I would say.
