As a gifted Bible teacher, author Jayna Coppedge applies biblical principles to everyday parenting situations. For example, she compares Jesus training His disciples with teaching children how to do household chores. You will learn how to love and respect your child without surrendering your authority. When you recognize satan's attempts at deception, you are able to make rational decisions rather than reacting in fear.
Proverbs 29:18 warns that without a vision people perish; therefore, your first duty is to visualize your child at age twenty-two. In the first chapter you will describe the character qualities that you hope your child will have upon reaching adulthood. The remainder of the book provides you with the tools needed to make your vision into reality.
Serving as a children's minster for twenty-four years, Jayna Coppedge wrote the book she wanted to give parents. This book is a great baby shower or Mother's Day gift. It provides twenty discipline techniques, helpful tips in infant care, new approaches to sibling rivalry, and a process to remove the anger from your discipline. This gift benefits parents of infants, children, and teens.
