It doesn’t matter what substance you’re working with, be it wood, ice, bronze, wax, sand, steel, or foam. Each raw material requires a distinct combination of tools to strike the balance between respecting its uniqueness and steadfastly pursuing the potential beauty within.

In the following articles, I will present different tools and creative ways to use them as we allow the Lord to work through us, shaping our children in His image (see Colossians 3:10). You’ll see, there’s no reason discipline has to be boring!

Experiment. If one idea doesn’t work, try something else and come at it from another direction. But don’t dismiss a failed method altogether; it may work on another child or at another stage of childhood. Believe me, your departure from the ordinary ways of correction will keep your kids on their toes, wondering what you’ll next pull out of your bag of tricks. The road is long, but it doesn’t have to be dull.
