Parenting With Love And Logic (Updated and Expanded Edition)
How Children Raise Parents
Dr. Dan B. Allender has taken a different approach from many writers of parenting books. His book title gives away the fact that he writes off the beaten path. He focuses a lot of attention to parents listening to children - with both ears and hearts.
All of the chapters have merit and great appeal. However, I especially loved the introduction and a few other chapters, in particular. For example, Children Shape Our Souls: That's Why We Need to Read to our Kids is in the starting line-up. I had never thought of how children contribute so much to soul-shaping, but I agreed that they do after I perused this book at the library.
Turning Down the Voice of our Culture: We're Not Here to Prove That our Children are Great.
This chapter spoke to something that I think is mandatory for concerned parents. Sometimes the noise of media, technology and the cranked-up volume of humans can be a bit much. Sometimes we even live vicariously through our children, or measure ourselves by their accomplishments. Overload is a common societal problem, even if it's just overload of overwhelming peer pressure. I appreciate Allender for addressing this issue and helping parents get a proper perspective.
The Perseverance of Hope: Dreaming God's Desires for our Children.
The subtitle of this chapter almost overshadows the title; although both are positive and beneficial. I believe that parents can sometimes be guilty of forgetting that God has a plan for the children He loans them. When parents line up their expectations and actions with what God desires for each child, the journey can be more enjoyable and the results can be beautiful and lasting.
The Divine Dialogue: How our Children Reveal God's Name.
I loved this chapter because it is another God-focused chapters. I recalled reading that children are a reward from the Lord in Psalm 127:3. I believe that if children come from God, they can be His instruments to reveal many things about Himself and His attributes.
Conclusion
I appreciate this Waterbrook Press (Colorado Springs, CO) book. Although it was copyrighted in 1996, its message is timeless and brave. I believe every parents who needs a blueprint for getting their parenting skills on track should read this book and heed its message.
