Being a parent is a difficult job. We want what's best for our children, but sometimes we just want to be liked! The problem is, that when you decide to be your child's friend, you can cause great damage to the relationship you have with your children. What's more important, having a child that likes you, or having a great relationship with your children in the future? Today, we talk about the long game: stop being your child's friend today, so you can be their friend later.

We want what's best for our children, but sometimes we don't allow our children to learn from difficult experiences. How do we teach them to learn on their own in an environment that also protects them. Discipline and correction are ways to show your children that you love them, because you're willing to train them how to be successful in life.
