#5--Do you ever treat your children differently or hold them at arm's length after you have disciplined them? Do you welcome them back into loving relationship freely or begrudgingly?
I don't THINK I do, but I can't say I don't. After a single incident, I don't have trouble resolving the situation and restoring the relationship. If it's one of those days when I feel I've done nothing but discipline the SAME SIN a MILLION times...well, I definitely feel I need some space from that child. I don't feel like I withhold love necessarily...more just need to let my frustration/exhaustion simmer down.

This is definitely a problem for me, but the Holy Spirit is bringing conviction and working on me in this area.
