Discipline is not only PunishmentBiblical discipline stops wrong or
poor choices whether you are there or not!
It also starts right choices. Do you have a plan for responsibility training?
Proverbs 29:15 says “The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.”

The Hebrew word for reproof includes:
CorrectionRefutationProof (even in defense)Argument, and Reasoning. (definitions from Strong’s Exhaustive
Concordance)

The Right Discipline Causes Poor Behavior to Disappear & Right Choices to Begin.
1. The right system rewards good behavior consistently.
2. It gives time-saving consequences for both good and poor behavior.
3. Small disturbances are consistently caught so children are discouraged from risking larger ones.

wrong choices and builds teamwork with proven
techniques.
•Basics of this system have been well researched with all types
of students and used in classrooms nationwide. 10
It Provides Reasonable Expectations &
Motivators1. Stress Free Discipline has flexible
maturity-appropriate expectations measured with points.
2. Quality control is built into the points.
3. Points become time spent in educational activities with parents.

Stress-free Discipline Provides Systematic Growth of Adult Skills…
1. As you work this system, your child learns adult skills.
2. Hourly, daily, or weekly rewards build maturity step by step.
3. Children can be disciplined singly, in pairs or teams.
12
Stress-free Discipline Factors in Growth, Fun and Accountability for Everyone.
1. A Parent’s expectations list (on a few tasks of your choice) and Points Chart educates your child in adult skills, roles, and responsibilities.
2. Call it delegating: your child helps you on your own self improvement.
3. Your authority remains intact.13
Stress-free Discipline is More than Doing Chores It is:Biblical habits such as speaking the truth
in love, Leadership, Win-win negotiation, Impulse control, Grace, Berean Teamwork training, Adult thinking skills.
