Discipline Part 3: Developing Assertiveness

Today we continue our series on Discipline. To recap what we've already learned: the first and most important discipline for a father-leader to have is Personal Consistency. Without the ability to be consistent, especially under pressure, you'll have significant challenges teaching your children anything, let along teaching them discipline. Next is Projecting Discipline, which is also called "enforcing the rules." If you are exceptionally consistent in creating rules and living by your values but don't have a plan for when the rules are broken, your leadership will fail. If you can put the guardrails in place but fail to get the vehicle back on the road when it jumps them, you're in for a wild ride with you kids. So in this episode, we'll tackle the next tenet of discipline as we continue to build toward an effective, loving father-leader: assertiveness.
