Some worked for Tim, but not the other two and some worked for Matt and not the two. We need to remember in the Scripture where is says in Joshua to talk about God as we walk though out our days and teach by example what graditude and the gifts of the Spirit are by our life. Gary and I pray for you both every day to have wisdom and discernment and believe you are doing a good job loving and guiding your kids.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557905446400444798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-24922334811916387682010-02-17T20:47:49.828-08:002010-02-17T20:47:49.828-08:00Jane - Hi!

How blessed are your children that you would put so much time, effort, thought, prayer, etc. into raising them. They are blessed! <br />Parenting is a huge responsibility but its not all up to us. The Lord will work in our children's lives many times despite us and our current "method". He loves them more than we do. If the Lord has led you to this plan for Jessie remember that he is trustworthy. <br />Blessings to you!<br />Love - <br />Carolyn RitterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-90874504424082902722010-02-16T18:28:05.637-08:002010-02-16T18:28:05.637-08:00I agree with signonthewindow and your lovely siste...I agree with signonthewindow and your lovely sister. I think the most Christian way to parent is a way that is full of grace, that teaches rather than is punitive. And every child is different, as you know since you have three of them. <br /><br />The thing with parenting books is that you can find one that agrees/disagrees with whatever you want. Both Christian and secular!Amy from Occupation: Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537676509850272801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-27197927583699791232010-02-16T17:39:08.736-08:002010-02-16T17:39:08.736-08:00New post coming baby!

So much seems like here-say. How does Tedd Tripp know that kids who are affirmed end up being self-centered brats? What is the evidence that positive reinforcement makes kids feel like they can get away with anything? He's a pastor. I seriously doubt he's evaluated how the kids who do his stuff turn out or how they think about God or maturate in faith. I know this could be a post in itself so please excuse the venting. But I think there are a lot of godly ways to do parenting. And I get really angry when some guy writes a book making people like you (or me) feel like our kids are going to turn out to be heathens because we didn't follow their method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-35943046306657566972010-02-16T07:39:14.585-08:002010-02-16T07:39:14.585-08:00I agree with Melissa...I was waiting for the contr...I agree with Melissa...I was waiting for the controversial part. I am also wondering what is un-biblicial about this technique or what the theological aspect is- I guess I will wait for your next post :) I see nothing wrong with it AT ALL! I think you have to adjust your parenting skills for each child and their temperament. You are doing a wonderful job sis! I know you will be a wonderful mentor for me when the "kid" thing happens for me :) I LOVE the escort fee, very funny!Magpie Designzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890130243660529635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-5032311663359448662010-02-15T18:52:07.129-08:002010-02-15T18:52:07.129-08:00I kept waiting for something controversial! It see...I kept waiting for something controversial! It seems dangerous to expect "Christian parenting" to happen in one particular way. I don't think there's anything questionable about praising your child for doing the right thing. I agree with you about the tickets, but it's WORKING. Jesse is learning how to work towards the good. You want him to learn that doing the right thing means good things happen. And let's be honest, idealistic parenting has no place in actual parenting. I'm so glad you found something that works for you and your family. You're a good mama, Jane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
