282. After I Correct My Child, How Do I Reach Their Heart?

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week, Bethany is diving into the second part of our Jesus-centered discipline conversation: inspection.

Inspection is about looking deeper into our children’s hearts to understand the "why" behind their actions. It’s not enough to correct behavior—we have to ask the right questions to unpack it.

It's not just about correcting behavior but leading our children to understand what’s going on inside. We ask questions like, “What was happening in your heart when this occurred?”. By doing this, we teach them to examine their motives and align their hearts with God’s truth.

God doesn’t stop at correcting us—he invites us into deeper reflection and growth. In the same way, as we help our children unpack their hearts, we’re showing them how to grow in Christ and embrace his grace.
