This book is changing my life

Discipline That Connects With Your Child’s Heart is helping me to address long-term struggles in family relationships. It is not a quick fix, but a deep and thorough exploration of the underlying thoughts, feelings and circumstances which feed into our family dynamics, especially conflicts. It is full of the most practical advice on how to address each of those issues and how to move forward by building strong emotional connections between each member of the family.

It holds faithfully to biblical truth, but the principles contained would apply well in families of all faiths or none, because it addresses universal problems inherent to being truly human and living in relationship with one another.

I found the section on encouraging “Gifts Gone Awry” a revolutionary approach to helping children address their mistakes in a way which encourages and builds them up, rather than tearing them down.

For years I have been frustrated by my own failed attempts to parent in a way which really builds strong attachments and emotional ties whilst maintaining long term goals for character growth and true flourishing. I will be forever grateful for the insight and wisdom I am gleaning from mulling over and working through the principles contained here. I think it might do my marriage good, too!

I cannot recommend it highly enough!
