(Disclosure: I received the mentioned book in return for my honest review from BookSneeze. All opinions shared are my own.)
I love parenting books! I love learning more and more everyday. The saying, "It takes a village to raise a child" makes sense. You can't do it on your own. Nobody is perfect and if I can read and learn from someone else's experience, I am willing to do so. The Christian Parenting Handbook is a really good resource. It is an easy read book. There are 50 strategies for all stages of a child's life. Some of my favorite sections are Identifying Character Qualities, Bookmarking Good Days, Manipulation, Praying for your Kids, and a few others. I love that there are real life stories in each chapter so that you can relate to it.
The Christian Parenting Handbook by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the National Center for Biblical Parenting, compiles fifty parenting principles that use heart-based strategies to teach you how to face daily challenges. When parents focus on the heart, kids learn to ask different questions about life. Instead of asking, “What’s in it for me?” they learn to ask, “What’s the right thing to do?” You’ll soon see how a heart-based approach to parenting looks deeper and brings about greater, lasting change.
This is a good book and I will definitely pass it on to other parents.
What is a piece of advice that you were given as a parent that you would like to share with other parents?
