Book Review of Shepherding a Child's Heart

Shepherding a Child's Heart
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


I agree with a lot of the author's viewpoint that raising children to love and obey God starts at home however I just cannot get past his suggestion that a child should be spanked for every slight infraction. He also makes no indication of when he begins this harsh spanking should begin. Children disobey at a few young age. Is he suggesting we spank infants every time they disobey us? If I spanked my 2yr old every time she disobeyed me I would do nothing but spank and then comfort her. There are other ways to discipline children. Often just reminding her to "say 'Yes Mommy'" is enough.
