Title: Shepherding A Child's Heart
Review: "Shepherding A Child's Heart" by Tedd Tripp is a good title for anyone wanting to learn how to raise children in the fear (respect and reverence) of the Lord. Looking at earlier reviews, there appears to be some controversy over spanking children. The author clearly states that spanking is meant to be a form of loving discipline and not out of anger or revenge.Having said that, some of the areas covered include:1. How parents can be a positive influence on a child's spiritual development.2. Balanced view of parental authority.3. Considering your parenting goals.4. Types of communication.5. Different stages of child development.6. Training procedures for different stages.7. Influences that can shape your child's development.The book is a smooth read and may be completed in a few sittings. Regardless of what other reviewers think, the author appears to present a reasonable and biblical view of raising children.Recommended.
