“Discipline is helping a child solve a problem. Punishment is making the child suffer for the problem. To raise problem solvers, focus on solutions not retribution.” ~L. R. Knost
“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” ~L.R. Knost
"Generational patterns are woven into the fabric of our lives. But they are not set in stone. Fabric can be unraveled, tears mended, knots untangled. And a new pattern can be tenderly and intentionally begun. We are the story-weavers of this generation. May we wield our looms with the bravest love and fiercest hope imaginable." ~L.R. Knost
"Instead of raising children who turn out okay despite their childhood, let's raise children who turn out extraordinary because of their childhood." - L. R. Knost

And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” ~L.R. Knost
"The most effective way to raise a nice child is to be a nice adult." ~L.R.Knost

"The most effective way to raise a nice child is to be a nice adult." ~L.R.Knost
"The thing to remember is that you are the only adult in the relationship for the time being, so be the first one to listen, the first one to forgive, the first one to apologise, the first one to understand, the first one to back down when the going gets tough. Before you know it, your teen will be an adult just like you. Just. Like. You. Make sure that the ‘you’ they see is the ‘you’ you want them to become." ~L.R. Knost
"We talk about leaving a better world to our children, but we forget about leaving better children for our world. Be kind to them so they will become kind… Respect them so they will learn respect … Enjoy them so they will feel valuable … Protect them so they will feel safe … Trust them so they will grow confident … Guide them so they will find their way … And free them so they will become who they are meant to be." ~L.R. Knost
