Over at my blog this week I had the privilege of being apart of a “Launch Week” for a new parenting book called The Christian Parenting Handbook: 50 Heart-Based Strategies for All the Stages of Your Child’s Life
I received a free copy of the book and in return gave an honest review of the book. You can see my full review HERE on my blog. But, I have to say, it’s a great resource for all parents, even if you aren’t Christian. So, that’s why I thought I would tell all you HDYDI readers about it, too! It’s great for all parents because it focused on long-term goals with your children. It emphasizes the heart of your child and helping them develop character qualities, and how to strengthen their character flaws. The book addresses controversial topics and issues like spanking, helps you understand the difference between things like discipline and punishment, and does so in a non-judgmental way. It’s not a “do-it-my-way-or-else” parenting book. It gives you guiding principles and examples. It shares the “how” of Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
I’ve applied some of the principles and ideas taught in it with my twin three year-olds and it has made a difference. Most of the difference made in our home from reading this book has been in how I approach my parenting and discipline. We’ve been happier because of it.
As I am part of the launch team of this book, I have the privilege of giving away a copy of this book and its companion guide! You can enter to win it over on my blog HERE. I hope you will! There aren’t that many entries yet, so the odds are in your favor! Yeah!
I also want to let you know that the publishers of the book are hosting a Mega Multi-Blogger Giveaway (no purchase necessary) where you can enter for a chance to win some awesome prizes, including an iPad and $200 Amazon gift card! Feel free to enter that HERE.
And finally, if you buy a copy of the book this week, they will give you $400 worth in additional resources for FREE! But you have to buy a copy before Sunday at midnight. Unfortunately, since they’ve been pushing so hard this week, everybody is sold out of physical copies of the book except for the National Center for Biblical Parenting. They are selling it at 25% off. BUT, you can still buy electronic version of the book from your favorite outlets, like Amazon
I love reading parenting books as I know I am an imperfect person and always can use some good advice on how to raise great kids and enjoy my time with them, too! What are some of your favorite parenting books? What have you read lately that has helped you with your multiples?
