How to Love Children Through Discipline

Mr. Clement interviews Head of Student Life, Mrs. Diane Abeln, about her passion for nurturing students' hearts through discipleship. She hopes to help shepherd students towards Christ-like behavior by encouraging them to reflect upon their behavior and grow in the knowledge of themselves while demonstrating empathy for others. Mr. Clement points out that, “The goal of any discipline or conflict at Kirk Day School is to restore relationships and if necessary transform hearts.” Mrs. Abeln shares how she utilizes the Peacemakers program, prayer, scripture, and open heartfelt conversations as she guides students through the resolution process. She explains, “When I’m disciplining or discipling a child, I’m looking at them as an image bearer of our great king. I want them to learn, grow, and enjoy the beauty of the way that God has prepared for them.” While conflict is not easy, Mrs. Abeln believes devoting time, energy, and passion to walking with children through this restoration process is so very important.
