When a child disobeys, our knee-jerk reaction is typically to discipline with consequences. It\\u2019s probably how we were parented and seems like the best choice at the moment. But what if we took a different approach?\\xa0

\\n

My guest Scott Turansky has some exciting, hope-filled news for us. We can look at our child\\u2019s behavior and identify a heart attitude that needs training. Changing their attitudes or internal motivations is what will drive external or behavioral change.\\xa0

\\n

\\u201cI would suggest that parents move to consequences too quickly and that another approach is needed to make a lasting change in a child\'s heart. If we strategically focus on the heart of a child and use techniques that are more internally-focused, we can see some really significant things take place.\\u201d

Scott is an expert in parenting. He literally teaches college courses on it. He\\u2019s the director at the National Center for Biblical Parenting, the author of several books and a father of five. Scott shares a lot of wisdom and practical advice for moving our kids from a place of defiance and disobedience to an attitude of honor and selflessness.\\xa0

\\n

It\\u2019s a lot to take in, but so good and full of hope. We can do this and Scott is here with resources and ideas to help us train our kids\\u2019 hearts.\\xa0
