You may be thinking, Teachable moments––I get it. But who’s got time for that? I’m just keeping my head above water and trying to keep my kids from killing each other.
I get it. Parenting is hard, really hard.

Can I get a witness? If I could go back and give a pep talk about discipline to my young mom self, here’s what I would say.
