Mom Award: Creative, Assertive Discipline

I want to meet Adam Clark’s mom. She sounds like she has a real handle on what works when it comes to disciple and God knows I am struggling with finding the right angle with my 5-year-old. Maybe this woman should start offering consultations.

Listen to how the Merritt Island, Florida mom handled the fact that her son was caught driving over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone:

Sixteen-year-old Adam must carry a sign outside his high school each morning and afternoon that says: “I was stupid. I drove over 100 mph and got caught. Thank God! I could have killed me and my friends.”

We can all guess that plenty of the kids are snickering at him, but Adam says, “I’ve learned my lesson.” Looks like some public humiliation might just be doing the trick in this particular case.

Kudos for mom. To Adam I say, good for you to working WITH your mom to accept the disciple. It’s encouraging.
