WFHESL Library Review
by: Julie B., League Librarian

Written by a couple that lived around the Amish community and have have raised five children of their own, this book uses Biblical truths that are practiced in the community where they live.
Michael and Debi Pearl have the following to say about their book:

"From Potty training to attitude training, here is an oppurtunity to find clear answers to many of your often asked questions..... Training is a technique that always works on every child. To neglect training is to create miserable circumstances for yourself and your child. Many of you have bypassed the training and expected the discipline alone to effect proper behavior..... Disciplinary actions can become excessive and oppressive when the tool of training is set aside and one looks to discipline alone to do the training....

I have had many parents look despondent and say, 'I have waited too long. They are too old to train.' It is true that the older the child gets, the harder it is to mold them. Yet, no human being ever gets too old to have his actions conditioned -- as military boot camp demonstrates.... You may not be able to recover everything with a fourteen-year-old, but you can see such improvement as to make it seem a miracle. The ten-year-old is still quite moldable. The earlier you start the better, but as long as they live it is never too late."
