Doctrinal Parenting: A gospel principles based philosophy for raising children

Parents are constantly faced with choices of how to respond to children's actions. How we respond determines what the children learn. There are many voices in the world loudly telling us how we are supposed to respond. They are persuasive. They sound reasonable. They claim to be backed by research and science. They are socially correct. They are politically correct. But are they doctrinally correct?This book examines the principles of parenting used and taught by the greatest parent of all: Heavenly Father. How does Heavenly Father parent his children, and what does He have to say about how we should raise our children? In these pages, you will learn that there are glaring differences between the philosophies of men versus what the scriptures and prophets teach about raising children.Parenting is hard work, but it's a lot easier when we follow God's parenting plan. Children are better behaved and happier. Parents are less stressed and happier. Homes are less chaotic and more reverent. The Holy Ghost has less difficulty speaking to us in the still, small voice. Most importantly, children develop good habits and better internalize correct principles. Through parental discipline, they develop self discipline, which helps them say no to the natural man and become disciples of Christ.
