Growing Kids God's Way (a book & video study by the Ezzos)
I realized I haven't written about this yet, but I've been participating in this parenting class at church since sometime in August. It's really good, and aligns very well to what Handsome and I have always talking about with parenting our girls. The big ideas so far: teach kids not just the rules but the reasons why and teach them to respect other people, property, and nature. Of course, the Ezzos go into great detail about all of these from a biblical perspective. There's only a few of us doing it--just three families and the facilitator--so that's allowed for lots of discussion. I've disagreed with the Ezzos on a few things (they don't believe in allowances for example, but will just sporadically hand their kids money--seems like a bad idea). The class continues into the spring and I'm looking forward to the next set of lessons about discipline. I'm hoping for some real practical tips.
