review 1: This book gives lots of good ideas to tuck away in your "parenting toolbox"I like how the author explains and gives examples of conversations with kids. Also, how you can really connect to the heart of your child. Forget for a minute the issue of spanking this book is about more than that it's about teaching your children that their problems belong to them not you. And reminding ourselves that we have to grow this little people to be problem solves connected to the heart of God.
review 2: I was looking for a book that would help me to articulate my instinctive distaste for using physical violence with children within a Christian culture that is still sadly unclear on this subject, and I found it within these pages.It is unfortunate that the author would still a... morellow for spanking in some circumstances but I am still rating it five stars because it was such a paradigm shift for me in terms of how I view my role as a parent and how to approach discipline.At its core, the book raises a challenge to refocus the end-goal for raising our kids, from simply hoping they will turn out to be well-rounded individuals, to actively enable them to self-discipline themselves in a world that offers endless freedom. The many examples help to see how this might be done by moving from a punishment-based approach to offering choices and consequences depending on age and maturity. I would recommend it to anyone, Christian or not. less
