We brought in cameras so that we could capture it for video and so that we could create a resource that moms and dads can use with other moms and dads in a small group and a Sunday school class, in a church setting, or just in your living room.Īnd we want you to hear a portion of the third installment of that video series today as we talked about the issues parents face in the area of early childhood discipline right from the start.īob: In this session we want to talk about the first year of a child’s life and how discipline fits in to that child’s first year and Barbara you are grandparents again for the I don’t know, eleventh, twelfth time.īob: Twelfth time, you were just up with your new grandbaby.īob: And were you exhorting your daughter to discipline that baby?īarbara: I was, actually. Those are the two main areas where you’ll have it.ĭennis: Let me tell you something, we’ve got some great stories about that.īob: We got together with a number of young couples awhile back and with some single parents as well and spent a day unpacking this issue of early childhood discipline. When they’re awake and when they’re asleep. Right?ĭennis: I was wondering what you were going to guarantee there are a lot of guarantees with a preschooler, but you’re right Bob, you’re going to have plenty of opportunities to apply various techniques of discipline.īob: You’re going to have it at mealtime, you’re going to have it at nap time, you’re going to have it with, two basic areas. One thing we can pretty much guarantee if you’re a parent of a preschooler you will have many opportunities to test out a variety of corrective measures with your children. Stay tuned.īob: Welcome to FamilyLife Today thanks for joining us on the Wednesday edition.

From the changing table to the dinner table to just about every spot in the house you’re going to have plenty of opportunities as a parent to exercise a little discipline with your children. The host today is the president of FamilyLife Dennis Rainey and I’m Bob Lepine. I’m not kidding you after six children you begin to see this, there was a day when the light would come on there would be a look in their eye and their eyes would meet their mother’s eyes and it was like we’ll just see about that.īob: This is FamilyLife Today for Wednesday, October 21 st. Where I would say to them, “No, you may not roll over when mommy is changing your diaper.” And of course we’d never had this kind of an encounter with a baby before and they look at you and smile and they’re so cute.ĭennis: But then there is a look in their eye. Barbara: The changing table situation became a point of discipline with all of our children.
