Publisher's Summary

You can raise good kids!

Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17). Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships.

Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.(1 John 4:18 NKJV).

Loving Our Kids on Purpose introduces paradigms, perceptions, skills, and ideas that will help parents reduce fear by eliminating the tool of punishment, and strengthening the core character of their children by empowering their self-control and value for their relationship with their parents.

Wonderful and challenging advice

Putting the ‘loving your kids on purpose’ principles in a Christian context, the book promotes treating your children with honour and disciplining through love and not punishing with fear and anger.

Challenging but wonderfully inspiring, it shows you how to help kids develop behaviour they will keep even when you are not there - because they love and value not hurting your heart of love towards them.

New perspective

I am a mother of three (10,5 and2 years of age) My husband and I were brought up with the traditional discipline that is to instill fear and authority over your child so they make the right choice, your (parents) choice. If they don’t follow suit then you punishment / discipline them. And I have struggled to keep this up. It’s tiring, fruitless, mentally draining so I have been looking for a, this sits right in my spirit approach. At first this book was confronting but after listening to this book over two days. It has made me question my many missed opportunities to show God’s love through me. I need to listen several more times of course because their is a lot of good points to remember. But thank you to the author for sharing parenting your experiences and wisdom a Godly way. Here’s to a new journey of parenting for me and my family 🙌

Worth meditating and making your own

This is a great book that challenges paradigms that I have been raised up with and hated but not known how to change. I've had to listen a few times to get it to sink in so that the change is real in me. I'm praying that as I approach the teenage years with my children, that these concepts are deeply rooted in my spirit and our relationship is strong, because I love my children too much to get in the way of this.
