Stop Counting to Three: The Six C's Discipline Reset

You read the parenting books. You meant to stay calm. Then real life showed up — and either you went back to yelling, or you just gave in. In this episode, Mike breaks down why most discipline advice fails under pressure — not because the philosophy is wrong, but because nobody hands you the actual words to say in the moment. He shares a story from a Disney World breakfast table he's not proud of, unpacks why "I'm counting to three" so rarely works, and introduces the first three tools inside The Six C's Discipline Reset: the Flashpoint Map, The Ledger, and the Battle Script — a system built to move your best decisions to a calm afternoon, before the flashpoint ever hits. If you're a dad who's done repeating yourself and ready for a plan instead of another philosophy, this one's for you. Learn more about The Six C's Discipline Reset at FatherFriend.net.
