What Our Mentors have Taught Us

It is not child abuse to say 'No.' - KMT

Discipline means to guide, not punish. - KMT

You can't make a child nap; you can only ask them to rest. - KMT

 Never do something for a child that they can do for themselves. - DVH

Don't expect a child to know how to do something if you haven't taught them.  - DVH

Talk and read to your babies all the time. - KMT

You can have a great family, while still making a great contribution in the work you do. - KMT

We will continue to add one-liners as we remember them and as our mentors share more.

About Us

By Misty Russell

This website is written by parents, for parents. My husband, Wayne, and I are the parents of a two and a half year old girl and a new born baby boy.  I am a stay-a-home mom to my beautiful and sometimes challenging children. On a daily basis I am having to come up with new and creative ways of instilling discipline in our children. There is not a day that goes by that does not challenge and remind me of the complexities of being a parent.

My husband is a Dean of Students at an international school. His role deals with character development and student discipline.  He  works with children and parents in 1st through 5th grade. He has previously worked with junior high students in an alternative school environment. We also work in the Babies Department at our church nursery.

To say the least we are around children 24/7! While we do not claim to be experts we hope we are able to help other parents navigate the troubled waters of child behavior and discipline.

See ya soon!
