Authors Lori Wildenberg and Becky Danielson writes on parenting using 1 Corinthians 13.
Just because it worked in your home with mom or dad doesn’t necessarily mean it will work in your home. Watching communication in my house with my grandparents, I never saw them hug, kiss and whenever they fought they used the silent treatment but in my home I strive to foster open communication.
The first thing I noticed about Review of Raising Big Kids with Supernatural Love is that this book is that she talks about blast from the past she mentioned that “our family history, current parenting styles and family makeup are all relevant and have an impact on the raising of each individual with whom we have been blessed”.
There were many great tips and examples to take another one is patience. She states that growing up in a home where patience reigns will more often than not produce patient people a child’s se;f which will blossom.
What I appreciate about my grandmother and her parenting style is that as I got older she let go. Sh realized that I had to make my own choices in life that i had to learn form my own mistakes.
After each chapter, she gives you a series of questions at the end as well as prayers to use.
There is no simple answer to parenting each of your children will be different so you can’t use the same technique on each child but what you can do is as Lori and Becky point out in raising big kids is love. Parenting is a changing thing think of your child like the weather you can’t wear shorts in winter and you can’t wear a coat in the summer parenting is the same way you adapt to the developmental stage that your child is in to be an effective parent.
