It's been a little while since I posted on here. I said I would try more and I haven't done well with that. My apologies. I figured I would try to let you in our my thought process in reading some of the books that have been in front of me. Here we go!
I just starting reading a book called "Shepherding a Child's Heart" by Ted Tripp. Really, I just starting reading it. This next quote is from the introduction, that's how far I have read. Tell me what you think:
“My observation after thirty-five years of school administration, parenting, pastoral work, and counseling is that children generally do not resist authority that is truly kind and selfless.”
Excerpt From: Tripp, Tedd. “Shepherding a Child's Heart (Enhanced Version).” Shepherd Press, 2011-08-26. iBooks.

I remember learning from college in my "Child Development Psychology Class" that there are several types of parenting:
Authoritative, Authoritian, and Permissive.
Christian or not, most believe that the authoritative parenting style is best. Using your authority that is naturally given to you by the relationship and using it kindly and selflessly seems to be the best. What do you think? Which parenting style have you used? What advice would you give?
