I agree with thecolorsblend....just because we treat each child individually doesn't mean we aren't using the fruits of the Spirit. In fact, it makes us more dependent on the Spirit. Every child is different and not every child will respond to rules the same way.

Are you going to change the rules for the child whose response you don't like?

"Whatever form of discipline you choose, administer it with respect. Your child will learn nothing if you lose your cool. If you want him to be respectful, then you'll have to model respect. Take note of your tone of voice at all times, especially when your child is acting up. Talk to him as a valued individual, not as a hardened criminal."
