The Healing Mama Podcast
As a certified positive discipline parent educator I want to help encourage you to rethink old discipline methods. To equip you with the necessary guidance and tools to parent your children from a place of firmness and kindness. God calls us to discipline our children but somewhere along the line we forgot that discipline means to teach and encourage, not to shame and punish. Let’s start rewriting the script for our children and their children and learn how to raise confident and capable members of the kingdom who do the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do.
