Quote★★
If you discipline a child when they’re upset, they don’t have an ability to calmly reason. She said, you’ll just add fire to it. So just be calm, wait, wait, wait.
Augsburger, Dan, “04 Christ the Vine: Individuality and Unity in Diversity” (AudioVerse teaching 41318).
The point
A child cannot reason calmly while upset, so disciplining in the heat of the moment only adds fuel to the fire — wait until things are calm.
