So, I grew up in a traditional Christian home. Both my parents believers and a pretty good thrid child. But my parents main use of disciplin was used to control us, not empower us. Both my older siblings rebelled in their own ways. The eldest was the worst, completely turning his back on God and believing Him to be a dictatorial, controlling Person like our Dad. My sister, the middle child, turned from Him in passivity, having no example of a relational or emotional God, she couldn't relate. She so relational herself that she just couldn't get why she was to love this hard Person- or even really see Him as anything but some guy in the sky who created this crazy world we live in.. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't seen their examples and sworn not to break my parents hearts like them I would have more easily turned away as well. I knew Holy Spirit as ansmall child in a house that didn't even mention Him except when talking about 3in1. As it was I continued to search as an adult for the kind of church/God that I knew in my heart.
Since reading this book I am completely convinced that if my parents knew this information/saw God for who He really is, that my siblings would never have turned from Him. In fact, as I have shared this book with them, they have been launched into a personal journey of discovering that they didn't know what they thought they knew about God. It's been a beautiful experience.
Danny outlines not only how a parent can influence a child, but deeper veins of how God actually responds to us. He is not a God of disciplin and control- but one of Love, Patience, kindness, goodness, etc etc. When he 'disciplines' us it is to keep us from something far worse.
I'm a Christian Mother who uses mindful, respectful, non punishment parenting with my children. Typically I have not found that type of parenting supported in parenting books from a Christian perspective. So when I saw this recommended by a fellow Christian unschooling Mom I thought it was worth a read.
This book started out wonderfully giving great detail and scripture to back up why the bible does not teach us to demean and control or children. So many great points were covered about how Jesus loves us, how we are to be examples and show that wonderful love to our children.
So bravo to Pastor Silk for saying such wonderful things in support of respectful parenting! If only he had used parenting examples to back up this kind of loving, gentle, respectful parenting.
Where this book fell flat for me was in the parenting examples supplied. It seemed to me as though the how to portion of this book was in direct opposition from the earlier chapters of the book. Almost as if it was written by two different authors from very different view points. He quotes a lot from Love and Logic, which maybe is why it seemed as if the advice was coming from a different source that earlier chapters.
One example was the Fun or Room option given to his toddler. This seemed to me to be forcing a child who is in need of parental understanding and loving guidance to essentially go away because they are not being fun.
He used the similar Fun or room with a toddler who was having trouble with a cup stuck in the top rack of the dishwasher and began to have a meltdown do to the struggle.
It seemed as if a child was not being guided with understanding their feelings but being essentially taught to deny them if they wanted to stick around with the rest of the family.
