My general rule of thumb is I try to reserve spanking for rebellious behavior and yelling for immediate danger. I want to kids to know that if I am yelling something bad might happen. I would yell if they were horsing around in front of the wood stove and I was legitimately concerned that they might fall against the stove if I don’t get their attention immediately.

I’m not always successful though. Sometimes I yell when I shouldn’t because I’m angry, but I try.

She does flips and takes every one else’s tooth brush and plays. So hard not to spank her for that but I know that’s not the right thing to spank her for.

Maybe have a family craft night, and make a replica of your daughter’s craft and rip the replica and see how it makes her feel. Just taking a shot.

Yep teaching kids is hard and I doubt I’ll ever figure it out completely, but I’m hoping I get close enough to keep them in their right mind and following Christ.

I’m still trying to figure all of this out myself. I do the chatting thing, I try not to yell. Every now and then a spanking takes place. But as you said, it breaks my heart.
