5/18/20079:00:00 AM - 10:00:00 AM Raise Them Up, Dont Crush Them Down
Show Overview
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. One only has to listen to discover the heart of a child. Our goal as parents is to reach the heart, rather than simply realign behavior. We must not resort to control, pressure and manipulation in order to change outward behavior, for lasting change is the result of a changed heart. Anything less leads only to hypocrisy and rebellion. Too often, parents depend on rules as the primary enforcer of behavior. Rules can change behavior, but they can't change the heart. When parents and teachers begin to discern the difference between character flaws and purposeful disobedience, they will implement a gentler approach to reaching and understanding their children. As a result, children will more willingly admit their faults and seek help from those they love. Children need to hear the beating of our hearts rather than the beating of our voices. Parents, join Mark as he relates his experience as a shepherd and the important lesson that you don't become a shepherd just because you own sheep.
