Review
Moms of America, this is the book you ve been looking for. Ginger Hubbard is fresh, funny, and full of wisdom. Her advice is overflowing with God s instruction and grace. Rarely have I read a parenting book that gives both inspirational and practical advice all wrapped up in a package you ll look forward to unwrapping over and over again. I recommend this book highly! --Lysa Terkeurst, President, Proverbs 31 Ministries
This book is properly aligned. It makes the focus of discipline the heart and unpacks how to use the Scriptures for both encouragement and reproof. Parenting books tend to be heavy on ideas and strategies for managing our children but light on biblical foundations.Don t Make Me Count to Three weaves together solid biblical truth and practical parenting advice. This bears reading and rereading. --Tedd Tripp, author of Shepherding a Child s Heart

Contrary to other reviews this in not a book about spanking. Nor is it a book about being a dictator. Plowman has written a useful and helpful book that deals as much with the parent's attitude as it does with the child's.
It is a balanced book. She frequently highlights and underlines failures of parents to be loving and God-centred in their raising of their children. And she is humble enough to illustrate these failures from her own experience. It is balanced also in that it recognises the need to react differently with different children and with different ages of children - for her there is no 'one rule fits all' thinking.
It is a practical book. It is an ideal companion to Ted Tripp's "Shepherding a Child's Heart". I felt Tripp's book was light on practical examples, but Plowman redresses that with many illustrations of what to do and what not to do.
It is a heart-oriented book. Her approach is not simply to correct the behaviour, but to get to the roots of the behaviour which lie in the heart. It's relatively easy to create a little automaton who will obey out of fear or reward, and then rebel when your back is turned. Plowman is not interested in such an approach. She seeks to get to the heart - and often that means dealing with your own heart first.
It is a biblical book. As a pastor I dislike intensely seeing verses quoted out of context. Contrary to other reviews Mrs Plowman does not do this. Instead she shows every evidence that she understands the context. But more importantly she calls parents to act not as they find easiest, nor in a way that is comfortable to them, but in the way God requires.
It is also a direct book.
