Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Ted Tripp is coming to my church for a Parenting seminar

I would agree that you should stay far away from the seminar. Immerse yourself in reading positive discipline books, articles, websites, etc. We are currently (I saw currently because it is a process and we have found it difficult to just make a clean break) leaving our church because of some similar things (but more related to Ezzo). Being around those kinds of people and teachings was absolutely detrimental to my relationship with my children and I have felt so much more healthy and clear-headed since getting away from that. Unfortunately, I'm stuck feeling as though I will never find a church that will meet our needs and I'm missing Christian fellowship, but I know that God will show us the way.

Anyway, I'm not suggesting that you have to leave your church! I reread my post and realized it may sound that way. I'm just sharing my experience with you.
