Reactive parents yell, scream and hit haphazardly when they have âhad enough.â But this parenting style will backfire on you, because reactive parents always feel fed up with their childâs behavior. Instead of enjoying your children, a reactive parent is actively looking for their childâs next rule violation.âŁ

As proactive parents, moms and dads must decide what the rules are and what the consequences will be for breaking those rules. Consistency and self control are the two keys that work hand in hand to correctly disciple and lead our children. Remember, if we are inconsistent, we will overreact when weâve had enough of the bad behavior.âŁ

We know proactive parenting may seem like hard work, but it will always pay off. You child will learn to choose the right thing because you have guided them in forming the correct habits and attitudes.âŁ

Donât âreactâ to your childâs behavior. Provide a calm example and consistent guidelines. No matter how much effort this seems to take at first, later childhood discipline will be much easier and your child will learn to do the right thing calmly in the face of frustration.âŁ

Never Forget Where Yah Has Brought You From
Itâs deep how life comes full circle at times. I met this brother Sierra in 1991 when I was trying to get in shape. Little did I know that the Most High crossed our paths so that I could build my spiritual âmuscles.â Sierra was not only a trainer at a national chain gym but a man of Godâand later I discovered he was married to my good friend from high school, Youlanda. Sierra was a strong influence in my life and we became close friends.
