Melinda....wow! I totally agree with the "empty threats" issue. The kids can see right thru them. This sounds like a great book! :)

Sounds interesting. And good follow up is SO vital and something I STILL struggle with even now - with grandchildren. Thanks for an interesting contest. Loved the plumbing post too! Good analogy and WOW! I am SOOO impressed and proud of you!!! :) Have a blessed week.

Amen.....the thing I fight against most is change, especially when I am the thing that must do the changing! Sometimes I'd rather stick my head in the sand, wouldn't you? But, I'm always grateful that the Spirit keeps working on me and continues to pull me closer and closer so that I finally open up and humbly submit.

That's such a good principle: structure choices to help them make the right choice. I've heard this is a fantastic book and am very interested in reading it. I read the "Boundaries in Dating" one when I was still single and it was excellent. And now I'm on to parenting books! :) Would love to win this book!!

Been there, done that!

With that exact book, being uncomfortable, wishing it were sooner, and glad I learned when I did.

Even now with my youngest of 5 turning 20 there is helpful advise in there for being the mother of young adults.

It is SO worth it!
Keep doing the right thing.

Oh, such a good idea!

I love to read parenting books, but there are so many crazy ones out there that I'm not sur which are worth it, so I'll look forward to hearing your opinions on them!

I often wish God would change me all at once and get it over with, but then I am thankful, because my head would probably explode from all the ways I am apart from His best for me. Glad He is kind and gentle with us. Hugs :O)

Melinda, that sounds like a good book. Parenting is so hard at times, help like that is welcome.

I think there needs to be a poster given to each new parent that says, "don't make empty threats!"
