Description
We need a parenting revolution!
Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What's in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What's the minimum I need to do to get by?
But God's Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live. This practical book explores a theology of internal motivation and then gives parents real-life solutions to equip their kids for life.
You'll learn . . .
* how to parent in ways that build internal motivation so that kids don't have to rely on you to get things done.
* the four promptings of the conscience and how to coordinate your parenting to take advantage of them.
* ways to energize your spiritual training with fun and creativity.
* how to help children respond to mistakes instead of blaming, defending, or justifying.
The greatest gift you can give your child is strong moral and spiritual development-this book shows you how. Every chapter includes practical examples of families applying the Bible to their current issues.
Join the revolution!
