By this time in our parenting journey, we all know the important role the family plays in our children's respectful obedience. As homeschooling mommas, we have the added benefit of observing the true hearts of our children in the comfort of our homes on a regular basis and are well acquainted with their discipline needs, but we still benefit from motivational reminders of what our goals in this area include. Here are some links you may enjoy. Happy Parenting!
