Do you ever break your own rules? Dr. Roger Smith opens this episode of Parenting Matters Now with a relatable moment of almost setting muddy boots on the dinner table, highlighting how easily we can slip up. This leads to a crucial discussion: how do we react when our children break rules? Dr. Smith encourages parents to look beyond the behavior itself. Sometimes, rule-breaking isn't rebellion, but a result of carelessness, distraction, or even a valid underlying reason. Learn why it's essential to wisely evaluate the situation and understand what's truly going on with your child, rather than immediately imposing consequences. Discover the power of extending the same grace to our children that we often give ourselves when we unintentionally break our own guidelines.
