So far there are lots of practical steps to encourage your children to do what is right not just outwardly, but from a heart that wants to serve God.
I would recommend the book, especially for parents with preschool and elementary children.

I loved this book. Lots of really fun ideas for correction...which in my house used to be lots of yelling and repeating myself. While I don't like all of her suggestions, there are plenty that I can't wait to try and several that I have already tried...and they work on my kids (a 2 1/2 and a 4 year old). It is good to know that someone else out there has the same parenting struggles I do.

Pulling your hair out? Catching yourself sounding just like your mom? How many times have I said "how many times"? NO MORE!
This book gives you just the right tools to help correct behaviors. There is a toolbox for every situation. You can modify most of this for any age from toddlerhood to teens.
I purchased this book years ago and still find myself going back to figure out what to do next. My kids groan when the book comes out because they know things are about to change.
I've even purchased it for baby gifts. Yes, baby gifts, what better gift than a healthy, happy child with parents that are healthy and happy? What better book to have in your arsenal? I mean reference books.
If you want a peaceful home with loving kids then this book can help.

I bought this book after listening to her speak on James Dobson's show. This is the best purchase I have every made. It not only has good ideas but it is a good read.
