jj2020 's review for:

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp

3.0

---

I appreciated the spirit of this book, and the overall attitude towards parenting. However, I thought the "charts" were terribly cheesy and unhelpful. I also disagree with his enthusiasm for spanking, although I did appreciate how thoroughly he described what a proper spanking ought to look like, and when spanking is appropriate and inappropriate. To me, he focused on spanking far too much for young children and dismissed more conservative and gentle methods of discipline too easily. Overall, I did glean some wisdom from this book, though I do recommend reading the spanking sections with a grain of salt.
