    A Must Read for Every Parent

    This book has changed my life and challenged my way of thinking. The book has showed me deeper truths about the heart of children - how to best guide and relate to them. The book has a lot of wisdom about the use of biblical authority. It points out that discipline is for the sake of correction, not punishment. And how we as authority figures are not to focus merely on correcting bad behavior, but on engaging the child's heart for their spiritual well-being. After all, the goal is not raising well behaved children but Christ-seeking disciples. Tripp shares how confronting sin and encountering grace will transform the heart of our children.

    I will be straightforward and say the book does advocate corporeal punishment (spankings). But Mr Tripp does so in a very biblical framework. Proverbs repeatedly mentions using "the rod" - and let's not forget, parents did not use timeouts/ groundings in ages past, so the idea should not shock us; rather, this is a new shift in thinking that reflects our modern way of thinking. But Tripp is very wise in the boundaries he advocates surrounding such measures: never doing it in wrath, never losing control, communicating love, and reconciling with the child after the act (not giving them the cold treatment).

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Even if you don't agree with corporeal punishment, this is not the focus of the book, so there is plenty of wisdom to be gleaned from it relevant to all parents. I cannot say enough good things about it!

    17 years ago, we had the privilege of having Tedd and his wife, Margy, visiting us at a time when we hit a brick wall in handling our first child. They taught us how to "discipline in love". We read the book and practiced it; good results followed immediately.

    My son is 18. We couldn't be happier. He is a happy young man with lovely character and excellent moral discernment.

    Now, I am a young adult pastor. I highly recommend this book to all parents.

    Supurb book on the proper way to discipline. There are some negative reviews about the book, but those reviewers seem to have passed over the idea that discipline always involves love. I also have spanked my 8 month old, training her not to pull my moustache, and after only 3 sessions she understood, and has never pulled it again. Of course, they were very gentle spankings (and always on the back of the hand), but hard enough to get her to cry and understand that she did something wrong. As my children grow, the spankings get harder, and move to the backside.

    None of my 7 children run around in fear of my spanking them, and they know that I love them.

    It's important to realize that when a child feels loved by the parent, even overdoing the spanking will be forgiven.

    I think many reviewers only saw the emphasis on spanking, and overlooked the emphasis on love.

    I recently purchased this book and it is like having a personal reference/friend that I go to when I have parenting questions. We have a 2 1/2 year old and an 11 months old. When I bought this book, my husband and I needed guidance on how to implement effective discipline in a loving manner, and this book gave us exactly that and more. I wish that we bought this book before our 2 1/2 year old turned one because this would have helped us prevent some discipline issues. One very important thing I learned from this book is to consciously guide/shepherd my children instead of waiting to correct them when they make mistakes. This book also affirms that my husband and I are on the right track in our parenting style. Thank you for writing this book. Excellent work!

    I believe that from what I have gleaned thus far from this book that it definitely speaks to the voids that many Christians have instinctively sensed in their hearts and lives.

    Oh how much better so many of us would have been if we'd embraced and witnessed such Godly wisdom from infancy. I am so grateful for the voice of this Author on behalf of all who shall receive——and to the one who mentioned this book to me because she instinctively knew exactly what the Lord was communicating in my life, by doing so affirmatively and graciously.
