PFP 194 | Exploring Play as a Discipline Tool in Parenting | Is Play Rewarding Bad Behavior?

Episode 194

Monday, July 8, 2024 • Duration 13:48

Welcome back to another episode of Playfully Faithful Parenting with your host, Joy Wendling. Today, we're diving into the often misunderstood role of play in discipline. Many parents perceive play as inappropriate during moments of misbehavior or power struggles. But what if there's a better way? Drawing insights from Lawrence Cohen's "Playful Parenting" and Jim and Lynn Jackson's "Discipline That Connects With Your Child's Heart," Joy explores how playful discipline can transform power struggles into opportunities for connection and growth. Discover why play is not a reward but a powerful tool to reinforce love, understanding, and the fruit of the Spirit in your parenting journey. Let's redefine discipline together and see how you can be equipped to handle those challenging moments with grace and playfulness.

You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!
