ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The way we’re disciplined as kids tends to impact the way we handle interpersonal conflict as adults. Greg Popcak encourages parents to employ “Discipleship Discipline,” in which parents calmly work and pray with the child to identify the intention behind their actions and then teach more appropriate ways to meet those intentions – and this rolls over into conflict resolution in Marriage becomes Compassionate Problem Resolution in marriage. He tells us more about it.
