Squeaks is most definitely not what you would call a difficult kid. In fact she’s amazingly compliant and well behaved. She is two and a half though, and it has become helpful to have a visual aid when discussing behavior and discipline.

As I searched for a tool, something to point to and discuss consequences, I was unable to find many options that emphasized wisdom and not just goodness. There is, in my opinion, a difference between making wise choices and making good choices.

I want my children to strive for Godly wisdom, not just being “good people”.  I want them to follow my instruction, not out of fear of punishment, but because they understand that discipline is a side effect of love. Just like their heavenly Father, I want the best for them.
