I Can't Believe You Just Said That!
As parents, raising up children in a Godly way to honor and obey what God has directed is a rough road to journey on. Ginger Hubbard outlines in her book practical ways to direct and raise up Godly children by learning to tame the tongue. This is a parent help book to direct you in character building lessons for yourself as well as your children. There are 15-speaking-habits that are outlined chapter-by-chapter: yelling, arguing, lying, tattling, anger, etc. Each chapter begins with an anecdotal example of a child's behavior and a parent's response. The rest of the chapter breaks down this interaction giving biblical insights and strategic options in response to these speaking-habits. There is a specific 3-step-plan in each chapter: 1) What is the heart of the behavior 2) Reproving your child biblically 3) Training your child in righteousness. The bottom-line teaching is really how do parents use God's Word rather than their own words in teaching and raising up their children. 205 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Are you ever embarrassed or shocked by what comes out of your child's mouth? Do you raise your voice, threaten, and coerce, but find yourself frustrated because nothing seems to work?
In I Can't Believe You Just Said That!, Ginger Hubbard provides a practical, three-step plan to reach beyond the behaviors of tongue-related struggles—such as lying, tattling, and whining—to address your child's heart. After all, as Matthew 12:34 tells us, "the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
By moving past the idea that parenting is about rigid rule-setting or behavior management, we can set aside ineffective practices such as scolding, ignoring the offense, or merely administering punishment. Instead, we start to see that our children's outbursts are prime opportunities for the ultimate goal of all parenting: to guide them to the redemptive work of Jesus and his transformational power.
