Educatia prin iubire. Editia a III-a

by D. Ross Campbell

In lumea actuala, din ce in ce mai tulbure, cresterea copilului este, pentru multi parinti, ca un joc de noroc – n-avem cum sa stim dinainte daca acesta va urma un drum bun sau gresit in viata. Spre binele copiilor nostri, Ross Campbell ne propune sa inlocuim corectarea comportamentului – mani-festata, in general, prin pedepsirea copilului si, mai rar, prin acordarea unei recompense – cu educatia prin iubire. Aceasta forma de crestere a copilului este cea mai buna dintre toate. Este vorba de o forma de educatie proactiva – si nu reactiva, precum corectarea comportamentului –, ce se bazeaza pe anticiparea si satisfacerea nevoilor elementare ale copilului. Prima si cea mai importanta este nevoia de afectiune. Iubindu-ne copilul neconditionat, avem toate sansele sa-i insulfam valorile noastre, asa cum, de altfel, isi doreste orice parinte.

Ross Campbell – medic psihiatru, consilier si autor de succes – recomanda, prin intermediul acestei carti, o metoda de educatie axata pe responsabilizarea copilului si dezvoltarea personalitatii lui. Sugestiile practice, impletite cu povesti edificatoare si trecute prin filtrul emotional al autorului, alcatuiesc un manual pretios care ne poate ajuta sa devenim parinti ideali.

O carte de parenting cu sfaturi si exemple utile

[Phil Calendine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazingly summarizes how God would do it! Or rather I should say, how he does it...that is how He relates to us and how we respond. I fully believe anyone who says that they are a follower of Christ and His example will be able to embrace this book, it's principles and see amazing results. Now, remember that Christ warns us "in this world there will be troubles"...but he also promises in John 10:10 "life and life to the full." This book has truths that can help any parent learn to love and cherish their children (instead of tolerating them), put the battles behind us that are so often completely unnecessary, and live out Christ's promises to a world that so desperately wants what He offers.

UPDATE 5/25/2012: Not just for the kids!!! The Lord has used this book in peoples lives from my LifeGroup to transform them! One couple in particular, while going through this book, had such revelation about their own growing up experience that they were truly transformed and able to seek restitution with their parents and tremendously strengthened their marriage as they now are a unified front. Really cool. I've given away 15 or so copies to people in my church, and families that are reading and applying it are seeing dramatic results...amazing things the Lord can do when we simply follow and obey.

This was a really good book, and I particularly liked the first half. It made me feel hopeful that I can make some positive changes in my relationships with my tweens to help ease the teenage years.

This is a book worth reading for young parents who want to make a change or to those don't know what to do anymore. It's got great information and a lot of examples. I recommend it!
