Parenting is heart work

Using the Bible as the key resource, this book identifies strategies for parents that go deeper than simply looking at behavior. In fact, reward/punishment models are seen as self defeating in many children because they appeal to a child's selfishness. Recognizing that desires, emotions, and beliefs exist in the heart, gives parents more strategies to bring about change. Practical suggestions make this parenting book relevant, containing many illustrations and suggestions for working with children ages 3-18.
