Real parenting advice for real problems

ByMary Wilsonon March 29, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I admit that I'm only on chapter 12. Therefore, this is a partial review. I was drawn to Mark Gregston's book because I was familiar with his radio program on Moody Radio on Saturday mornings. I am mostly put off by Christian parenting radio programs because they address issues that are far removed from my current situation. However, when I heard Gregston speak and I heard the kids from Heartlight on the radio, it was something I could identify with.

The book addresses many of the causes of an out-of-control adolescent. While some causes may be attributed to culture, a lot of it is the direct result from the parenting that was done for these kids. The book does offer great insight as to how you got into the situation you are in and it offers some suggestion as to how to reverse the spin. None of it is presented as easy to do. The fact is that most parents don't plan for problems in parenting. When they arise, it's often late it in the game to correct the matter.

As I read it, I am thinking of how to implement the required changes. I am in a difficult position because I co-parent with an ex-husband who berates and belittles me to my children, thereby diminishing my authority. I wish that I could get a one-on-one with Gregston for some coaching. For now, I will work on some of the ideas from the book with my own therapist.
