Boundaries With Kids
Boundaries with Kids: When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Help Your Children Gain Control of Their Lives
By Cloud, Henry Townsend, John SimsBoundaries With Kids Is An Awesome Book On How To Deal With Kids.
This book is great with young kids. I have a toddler and an infant and tried some of the suggestions in Boundaries With Kids and it has helped me better deal with my daughter. I can't say how it would work on teenagers, but I have found Cloud's/Townsend's books on marriage, mom's, and boundaries in general to be very good.
If you have children, this book along with the Boundaries book are an excellent resource to assist in raising kids with healthy self-esteems. Boundaries With Kids will assist you in setting appropriate boundaries in your relationships, which empowers rather than enables. I love the examples given about the various types of boundaries we need to have. It reinforces the message being taught regarding the boundaries we as adults must be teaching our kids.
Their suggestions are very practical and realistic.
Boundaries With Kids is an amazing book that will change the way you look at parenting.
For most parents, it is just enough to make it through. They are not looking at the long term and the fact that they are shaping the life of a future citizen of the world (and hopefully heaven). Many parents, even Christian ones, miss the mark in parenting because they forget that God teaches that discipline is a necessary part for maturity. If children do not learn discipline at a young age, they will have a hard time coping with stress in the future, or dealing with people in general.
This book teaches you how to raise your child Biblically, and how to train them so that when they head out into the world they will not ultimate fail. This book tackles such subjects as attitudes of entitlement, how to teach your child to respect boundaries of others, and how to teach them how to deal with other children.
I have a read a lot of books, and few books have shed the light onto why so many people behave the way that they do today. So, if you have problems dealing with people and you want to understand the roots of it, or you have children (whether your own or ones you watch) then you should read this book. It will change the way that you view child-rearing and will dramatically improve your results.
