description:  Looking for advice about discipline for children?  
  
    Every parent wants to know, "How do I discipline my kids?"
  
  
 "Parents face a crazy paradox," says author Karis Kimmel Murray. "We love our kids exactly as they are, but we also love them too much to let them stay that way!" Disciplining kids is tough . . . even on a good day. We just want the 140-character version of what we should do when our kids' behavior scrapes the enamel off our sanity. Here's what God says:  "The Lord disciplines the one he loves, " (Hebrews 12: 6).  With humor and down-to-earth practicality, Karis shares stories of trial and triumph straight from the trenches of parenting. From the first page, Karis gives desperate parents a reliable recipe for peace, boundaries, and effective discipline.  In Grace Based Discipline, learn how to:   
   
    Stay calm, even when you're staring down the barrel of a loaded toddler 
   
   Customize your discipline to your child's unique personality, age and needs  
   Set rules based on God's priorities, not yours  
   Apply consequences that really work  
  
  Here's the good news: you can do this! 
  
 Responsive, grace-based parents are just ordinary people who've learned to tap into divine help.  
  Be at your best . . . even when your kids are at their worst. Grace Based Discipline will show you how!
