I also like what Rodney Tindall says "I stay consistant with the consequences". I think that is very important. I am a newbie at being a dad but I know from the way my parents raised me. Great post!

The same way you did last night. And someday she will get just how much it hurts you. And Him. The same way my Father discliplines me when I’m crying. The same way you did last night.

I thought with boys it would be a lot of "buck up" and he would happily run out and get dirty and be okay again...not so much. Not having grown up with a brother in the house, I was totally unprepared for boys to be as emotional as girls and to fight so hard to "buck up" through it. Knowing the ages of your girls, I know A.) it could be either of them you're talking about and B.) it makes no difference because they are both at the age that they really start to build the foundation of who they are, or at least the things that will really matter to them. We're dealing with it here too, my friend, as both of my boys are around the ages of your girls. The emotions they show, they disappointment and disgust with themselves is all the same. I cry for them and with them as they struggle through and pray they choose to live what they believe to be "truth". As for how to discipline a crying girl, mine is 5, so it's not really difficult at this point...you figure it out and I will be asking you in a few years, ok? It’s not just the girls Charlie.
