    • 1997, Eddie B. Lane, The African American Christian Parent, page 162:
      In discipline there must be a place for what I call "wobble room" for the child. This means making allowances for the child to fail sometimes and at other times make mistakes.
    • 2006, Charles R. Swindoll, The Grace Awakening:
      All this explains why I place so much importance on leaving “wobble room” in our relationships. One's theological persuasion may not bend, but one's involvements with others must.
