Being a parent is hard work, being a parent that is effective is even harder work. Every child is different and every parent is different trying to find a system that works takes a lot of trial and error.

So many kids today do not think of other people first in their day-to-day lives, and I believe that is one of the things that makes our children become more compassionate and helpful as adults. If we as parents do not change the trend toward being self focused, we are going to have real trouble as the years move on and we will have a generation of kids that never think of other people first. Christian values show that you should always think of how your actions will impact others, this book shows you ways to take self focused kids and get them to think of others.
Motivate Your Child Action Plan also has strategies to help kids that blame, rationalize or defend themselves, show them positive ways to bring resolution to problems without resorting to these behaviours. Strategies to teach your children to think before they blurt out an excuse or emotional response. Helping you raise children that will become more focused on the greater good instead of avoiding authority.
Many times I hear parents use the word punish, and every time I hear it, my heart hurts a little for the children, I do not believe in punishing children, I believe in consequences that teach and discipline methods that help disciple children to invoke a heart change, so that the children themselves do not want to repeat the behavior, knowing when to stop themselves and how to do the right thing is important. Motivate Your Child will give you specific consequences that work in a positive way.
As a parent we all need strategies to help our children develop into great adults, the Motivate Your Child book gives those to you, so that you can continue to be the parent that you want to be and the parent God expects you to be. This book gives you specific strategies that are heart based to develop responsibilities and initiative.
Look, parenting is hard and we all need help to do it the way we are called to biblically. Some of the hardest times in my life have been due to being a parent, and parenting a child in the way they should go is not to be taken lightly. You need help of others and you need biblical based instruction along the way. Motivate Your Child brings that home to you. Check out the two special offers below for you to order these books.
