Put the Disciple into Discipline: Parenting with Love and Limits by Erin MacPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
One more book on parenting! That may sound like a negative but it isn’t meant to. This book’s premise is to DISCIPLE your children as you DISCIPLINE them. Great concept! This book is practical and purposeful helping the parent/s to build strong relationship with their kids and to grow them up in the plan and purpose of their heavenly Father. I love the subtitle, “Parenting with Love and Limits.” No one ever talks about boundaries anymore – but they are key to a victorious life. There are and always will be limitations. There ARE rules. There is right and there is wrong. Grow them up but don’t be helicopter parents always hovering – making decisions and choices is key to growing up and maturity. Sure, bad decisions and bad choices are bound to happen but let them live through the consequences of those – don’t cover them up or try to fix them up. Parents, Caregivers, Guardians, Teachers…read this book!
This book sounds like the perfect blend of love and discipline. You are correct about our world no longer talking about boundaries. Even in school, the kids can fail all year long and then pass at the end of the year because they a told that the failing grades will not go on the official record. Thank you, Susan, for making us aware of a parenting book that includes proper balance.
Erin, I am emailing you.
