Parenting with Proverbs: The Art of Correction Using Biblical Wisdom

â€œMy son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my waysâ€ (Proverbs 23:26). God has given parents a whole book of pithy, powerful statements to correct children in the moment-by-moment situations of life. The book of Proverbs is ideal for parenting becauseâ€¦ 1. Proverbs are short â€” When you need to steer a childâ€™s behavior in the moment, a short statement is best. A proverb quickly anchors your thoughts on what needs to be corrected. 2. Proverbs are memorable and quotable â€” The Proverbs were written to be memorized and quoted aloud. 3. Proverbs state the â€œwhy,â€ not just the â€œwhatâ€ â€” Proverbs donâ€™t just say, â€œStop it!â€ or â€œDo this!â€ They say, â€œThis is wise because....â€ 4. Proverbs are based on real-life experiences â€” Proverbs are â€œrules of thumb,â€ general truths based on human experiences. They are convincing because they summarize the collective experiences of many people from the past. 5. Biblical proverbs are Godâ€™s own words â€” When you use Proverbs to teach and guide your children, rather than pointing merely to your own authority, you are pointing to Godâ€™s authority. Parenting with Proverbs offers parents a simple method to use biblical proverbs to teach and correct their children. The book containsâ€¦ - A detailed explanation of the â€œProverbs Methodâ€ of teaching - A catalogue of some of the most helpful proverbs, categorized by topic - A list of conversation questions that help parents engage their children with proverbial wisdom
