I love the Maxwells! Saw them at homeschool convention a couple of months back. Have not read this book but have many with the similar concept. Tedd Tripp’s “Shepherding the Heart of a Child” is a wonderful book too! Talks about godly and biblical discipline and getting to the heart of the behavior(sin) and not just the behavior (fruit of the sin).
“Shepherding the Heart of a Child”
yep, read it.
With the Maxwell book, though, the focus is on the child’s heart being turned to and kept by the parents so that you CAN “shepherd” them and not have them go their own way, which is often the way the world and the flesh are pulling them.
