Description

Soon after the publication of To Train Up a Child, Michael and Debi Pearl began receiving far more mail than they could answer. So, they started a newsletter called "No Greater Joy" to answer the most often asked questions. Receiving continual requests for back issues of the newsletter, the Pearls decided to reprint in book form the child training articles from the first two years.

These articles add to the foundation already laid in To Train Up a Child covering new terrain and clarifying previously mentioned topics.

If you read To Train Up A Child and have questions, chances are you will find the answers in the No Greater Joy book series.

This book / set of tapes is very helpful concerning practices / principles for training children. The principles are not presented in a systematic way but rather as responses to real people's questions and with real family situations as examples. The authors go beyond training a child's outward behavior to training the inner person (soul). The goal is to gain the child's heart. Another strong point of the book is showing how many common notions about child training actually train the children to do exactly the opposite of what the parents want.

One of the key basic principles taught in the book is that it matters more who the parents are than what they teach their children. In their words, "More is caught than taught". In other words, the children learn much more from their parents examples than from what their parents tell them. So the book is also very helpful regarding family relationships in general.
