Parenting Book Recommendations

KatieOctober 16, 20195 Comments

It is extremely important to me for a book to align with my Christian values. The parenting advice needs to be based on the Bible and its teaching. I want my children to be brought up in a godly way, so that they live their life righteously and never steer off the right path. I also what them to grow up to be good people that love and care for others, as well as someone I can be friends with. 😛 I’ve read numerous books and still have more on my list to read. You should never stop seeking knowledge.

Here is a list of books that I have read and would recommend:

Parenting Doesn’t Come Easy

People often tell me I’m lucky. When they see my kids helping me in the kitchen or cook on their own, when they hear that my kids do their own laundry, when they see my kids behave while I shop, when they hear my kids eat veggies!!! They say, “Wow, you’re so lucky that your kids do that”. And it makes me wanna scream! Its not luck! Yes, I’m blessed to have kids. But I was given kids just as you were given kids. I’m not special.
It’s not luck. I didn’t have them just dropped onto my lap all perfect (well they kind of were in the beginning). But it’s not like my kids have a special “good kid” gene from somewhere.

Every human is born into this world with a selfish, sinful nature and we, the parents, get to have this wonderful privilege to raise them right.
