About this listen

You can raise good kids!

Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17). Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships.

Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.(1 John 4:18 NKJV).

Loving Our Kids on Purpose introduces paradigms, perceptions, skills, and ideas that will help parents reduce fear by eliminating the tool of punishment, and strengthening the core character of their children by empowering their self-control and value for their relationship with their parents.

This book is a refreshing take on parenting from a Christian perspective, which furnishes the listener with both a compelling paradigm, to bed in over months and years, and tools to deploy immediately. Central to the whole book is the focus on recognising both a parent’s and a child’s power and need for freedom, and the importance of a heart connection between them that is more resilient and more effective than any external system of control. I have some quibbles, with the theological framework which asserts a very hard and fast distinction between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and with the allowance made for corporal punishment which I found confusing in the broader context. Neither of these are significant problems for the main argument and the genuinely exciting approach to parenting that it presents.

Alas the audio is let down by hasty and inattentive reading and there are several misplaced emphases.

Helpful and insightful (but will buy print book)

I love the way the book connects the dots with the Bible quotes. Very balanced and inspirational approach.
