Rebel
Ages adult. Price $16.99
Why I Didn’t Rebel is
a must have for adults who want to raise children who don’t rebel. This is
available in paperback or in ebook form.
Why I Didn’t Rebel is
from the viewpoint of a twenty-two year old woman who never rebelled. However,
she explains that she was strong willed and did question her parents’ rules.
What and who she didn’t rebel against was God. She also explains the importance
of having some basic principles in place. They are:
Ø
Ditching
a rules-based mentality and instead teaching moral reasoning.
Ø
Having
true communication with each other that’s more than just prying for information
or rattling off reminders for homework.
Ø
Learning
how to have a friendship with their kids where they truly like each other as
people and want to spend time
together.
Ø
Letting
teens make decisions on their own and, if they fail, allowing them to
productively learn from those mistakes.
Ø
Using
discipline to encourage good behaviors, instead of only stifling bad ones.
Ø
Teaching
kids how to find their identity in God alone, not grades or social status or
even what their parents think of them.
Lindenbach explains,
“There are never any guarantees that your child won’t rebel, but to many people
think it’s a guarantee that they will,
so parents give up too easily.”
Reading Why I Didn’t Rebel and following it’s suggestions won’t
guarantee that your kids won’t rebel, but it does offer tried and true recommendations
based on dozens of interviews Lindenbach did.
Addressed with humor and
sensitivity, Why I Didn’t Rebel relates
advice that will help them navigate the traumatic teen years and know when to
discuss the rules and revise them and when to stand firm and make sure they
follow through with making sure their kids obey.
This book would be an
excellent addition to a personal parenting library, libraries, homeschools,
Christian schools, and church libraries. An invaluable guide to
raising kids who don’t rebel.
