Taking off the sinful nature and putting on righteousness! I love this chapter! She definitely says it best, "When we correct our children for wrong behavior but fail to train them in righteous behaviour, we will exasperate them because we are not providing them with a way of escape." We have been using this role playing with Jackson after explaining to him why his behavior was not acceptable. He almost always responds properly after we rehearse the situation. It's like he is enlightened with with the response he wants to give in his heart...he just has to fight back that sinful nature and put on righteousness. How awesome to give a three year old the tools he will need to make proper choices throughout his life.

This is an online book club that discusses the book by Ginger Plowman 'Don't make me count to Three'. We talk about practical ways to raise Godly children through heart-oriented, Scriptural parenting.

I like how her way of working through a biblical response allows children a chance to govern and solve conflicts on their own. How nice would it be if we( moms and caretakers)didn't have to deal and resolve EVERY conflict? I also think that just simple questions about how the other person might feel can help open their minds and hearts. Role playing seems to be a very positive way to influence good behavior. I plan on using it when Ava gets older.
