Rent Taming the Lecture Bug

Synopsis

Your children have just been caught in a lie, or are refusing to do their household chores. What is your first instinct to do as the parent? Sit your child down for an intense lecture on the rights and wrongs of his/her behavior. However, what your lecture is not doing is teaching your child to think and be accountable for his/her actions. Parents and authors Joey and Carla Link saw how their own lectures didn't produce the desired obedience from their three children, so they talked more and lectured less; imploring consistent parenting that motivated their children to be more responsible and aware of actions. Their advice and real-life experiences are included in their educational guide, Taming the Lecture Bug and Getting Your Kids to Think. The book offers parents helpful, biblical parenting solutions that encourage children's thinking before acting and parents' patience with children instead of resorting to lecturing.
