To Train Up a Child by the Pearls
Two extremes in child training are prevalent in our day. Permissiveness is the first. A view made popular by Dr. Spock decades ago, this taught that children were evolving and discipline hinders their progress. Other parents spank their child for virtually everything they do wrong. Neither of these extremes is consistent with Scripture.
The present ministry of Michael and Debi Pearl, No Greater Joy, began with the book, To Train Up a Child in 1994. Today over 625,000 are in print, a best seller in anyone’s standard. The premise of the book is to teach parents how to train up their children rather than discipline them up.
Beyond theoretical platitudes, the book is filled with illustrations from real families, including their own, and laced with plenty of humor. The Pearls used this method in raising their own five children. They continue to see it work in the training of their 14+ grandchildren as well.
The goal of the book is stated by the Pearls as, “no more raised voices, no contention, no bad attitudes, fewer spankings, a cheerful atmosphere in the home, and total obedience from your children”. If that sounds too good to be true, realize that many have successfully followed these Biblical principles. As a matter of fact, questions and testimonies from readers brought about the magazine No Greater Joy. These articles have since been compiled into the three volumes of No Greater Joy books.
This is not a book of secret formulas never before unveiled. Again, from their own pen: “These truths are not new, deep insights from the professional world of research, but rather, the same principles the Amish use to train their stubborn mules, the same technique God uses to train His children. These principles are profoundly simple and extremely obvious. After examining them with us, you will say, ‘I knew that all along. Where have I been? It’s so obvious.’”
The emphasis of the book is found in the title, i.e. training. The book teaches parents how to train children before discipline is needed, maintaining fellowship with the children without being either a buddy or a tyrant.
Here is another quote from their introduction to the book: “The stress will be gone and your obedient children will praise you and bring joy and peace into your home. Thousands have testified to the amazing results of these profoundly simple techniques”
The chapter titles include, among others, Selective Submission, Parental Anger, Safety Training, Emotional Control, Potty Training, Bullies, Self-Indulgence, and The Rod. You get even more if you purchase it now for recently To Train Up a Child was updated and expanded, yet remains reasonably priced.
Parents don’t have time for a hit and miss approach to child rearing. We want to use techniques that apply Biblical principles to real life situations, in short, things that are guaranteed to work. To Train Up a Child does just that in only 122 pages. If you feel like a parental failure or know someone who does, this six dollars may be a life-changing investment.
