A Great Resource for Parents

Started by goodwordediting · 9 months ago

If you’re like me, you’re tired of being told to grow kids God’s way and dare to discipline. I mentioned Mary DeMuth’s book Authentic Parenting earlier this week in an review. And the ideas in her book have really stuck with me. You know how some boo ... Continue reading »

    The best parenting book I know is "Shepherding Your Child's Heart" by Ted Tripp. It addresses the heart rather than external behaviors - if you're looking for parenting books, don't leave this one out.

    Shepherding is a pretty good book, although I enjoyed Ginger Plowman's book called Don't Make Me Count to Three more because it's a little more practical. I reviewed both books on my blog (links above).

    Shepherding a Child's heart is my #1 favorite.

    If this is as good as "Shepherding", I'm sure I will enjoy it and give away many copies.

    Hope the performances continue to gather laughs!

    I will look forward to seeing if I get a laugh from you on my most recent post!

    That sounds good. sadly I'm pretty much done with parenting. My first is gone and I'm thinking of taking a pretty much hands-off approach to the next two.

    Just kidding of course.

    Your quick hard sell robs me of your nice, neat bullet-point summary. You know, the one that would let you do all the work and let me get the benefit?

    Why don't you work that into the experiment?

    Eve, I posted a link to the review. That was just an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Gordon, I gave a good bullet point summary in the review I posted earlier.

    Matthew, thanks for dropping by! It's always good to see fellow Church of Christ buddies.

    Ack! I thought I'd commented here. I must've dreamt it. Sorry about that. Thanks so much for being a spectacular part of this tour, Marcus!
