A Dad called up the national Dave Ramsey show on Thursday to tell Dave that his daughter was angered by one of his principles and decided to express her disapproval rasther potently.
She had been saving up for sometime to buy a doll house.She was dissatisfied with how long this was taking. She asked for a loan and was told' That is not how we do things."
It is clear that Dave Ramsey was regularly an item of discussion at that household. Later than day, The parents and the girl's siblings were outside and they saw smoke rising from the top of the chimney They ran inside and found one of Ramsey's book burning in the fireplace.
The Father focused on the girl being angry and frustrated with Dave Ramsey and expressing her protest by burning one of his books. He wondered what he could do to better explain to her what Ramsey was teaching and advocating.
Ramsey stridently maintained that what the girl did was NOT about him or anything he had written. He said it was obvious that she was out -of-control, undisciplined and disrespectful. It was also clear to himthat she had no respect for the property of others as indicated by burning the book.
The dad still wondered if he needed to better tell her why he was doing what he was doing. Ramsey focused on discipline. los of priviledges and insisting that she work to be able to finance the cost of the item that she destroyed.
Ramsey was focusing on the child's behavior, The parent was focusing on what caused the child to respond as she did! Which position are you MORE inclined to be in sync with?
