Parenting Is Heart Work

Description

A heart-based approach changes everything. The reward/punishment model of parenting doesn’t work and often makes things worse. 

If you’re like most parents, you have developed your own parenting strategy-sometimes it seems to work, and other times-based on the way your child behaves-you wonder if it’s working at all.

There are countless ways to try to get a child’s attention and to effect change-but here’s the truth-unless you deal with a child through his or her heart, you are not likely to see lasting change.

In this breakthrough book, you can learn to truly reach your child’s heart to teach, train and build a tremendous relationship.

You can turn correction times into learning experiences, equip your children to accept responsibility for their mistakes and meditate on the right things, influence and adjust the values and beliefs your children hold and maintain a relationship with your children through love and emotional connectedness.

The author writes… God is in the business of change. He changes his children and focuses on our hearts. We took that idea, examined every time the word “heart” is used in the Bible and came to exciting revelations about parenting. If we can use the same strategies that God uses to bring about change in his children, we can help children make huge changes more quickly and changes that last longer.We have now used these strategies to coach parents one-on-one all over the world. The principles work and help even the most challenging children make major changes.

In this book you will learn:
* How to connect to your child’s heart to bring about change.
* Ways to correct that are more powerful and last longer.
* To help your child reign in emotions.
* How to use common, everyday activity to build life-skills.
* Biblical, practical tools that work.

Stephen Arterburn from New Life says, “I have never seen a better book on reaching a child’s heart. As parents we are too quick to correct and miss a chance to connect to the heart of a child.”
