Book Excerpt

"Before you can guide your children, you must incorporate Jesus' teaching and values into your own heart and mind.  This will require a good deal of practice and the unlearning of old habits, which can be difficult indeed; habits are, by their very nature, resistant to change.  In fact, if from time to time it doesn't feel difficult or even discouraging as you strive to exchange the parenting-as-usual that you learned from others for parenting-as-Jesus-would, you're probably not trying hard enough!  But if you keep at it, giving yourself time and rewarding yourself for even failed efforts in the right direction, you'll find that Jesus' principles are beginning to become your own.  If you are truly committed yo this quest, staying in the game even when nothing seems to be working, the payoff is that you'll begin, very gradually, to see, respond to, and guide your child as Jesus would.  You'll notice a new cooperative attitude, more genuine conversations, and the sense that your connection is growing much stronger.  And that's a great feeling."
