"Your task as a parent is to help your child develop inside him what you have been providing on the outside: responsibility, self-control, and freedom. Setting and maintaining boundaries is not an easy task, but with the right ingredients, it really works." (p. 7) Boundaries With Kids offers ten principle-centered concepts taken from God's teaching on responsibility, stewardship, and self-control. The process begins with you as a parent as you learn to require responsibility from your child. It's not merely about teaching children boundaries, but being a boundary, and helping your child learn that his life's problems are his own. It's about taking ownership and receiving consequences. Boundaries With Kids is designed to help you implement these principles specifically and practically. |
