As parents, we need a plan to respond to our children when they are disobedient. Ginger Hubbard, author of I Can’t Believe You Just Said That: Biblical Wisdom for Taming Your Child’s Tongue helps parents move beyond the outward behaviors of children to address the issues of the heart from a biblical perspective. Ginger says that by moving past the idea that parenting is about rigid rule-setting or behavior management, we can set aside ineffective practices such as scolding, ignoring the offense, or merely administering punishment. Instead, we can use opportunities for correction to point our children to the transformational power of Christ.

TAKEAWAYS

The sins of the tongue stem from the sins of the heart

Asking questions helps children evaluate and take ownership for what’s going on in their hearts

Lee Ann Mancini is a professor, podcaster, speaker, and author who has abundant wisdom on the subject of raising children in a way that cultivates a deep relationship in their hearts for Christ. Lee Ann authored the best-selling book, Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling Lifelong Trust in God. She shares that a child’s worldview begins to form as young as 15 months and solidifies at 13 years old. Prepare the soil for truth in your child’s heart from the time they are in the womb! Don’t be afraid to have standards of behavior in your home and to hold your children accountable to those standards. Teach your children to be critical thinkers, as well.
