..."and then he sent his only begotten son, so that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life"

The garden is not where the story ends.

God did not put the tree in the garden to tempt adam and eve, for it is written:

"When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed." (James 1:13-14)

The tree was put in the garden, in the midst of a garden overflowing with goodness, safety and ease, in order that man might have free choice.

You don't need to worry about providing free choice for your child, God already has. There are plenty of options for a child to make choices on a day to day basis. Be a faithful steward of your beloved child.

I recommend this article on discipline, by a woman who previously used the Pearl's methods:

BTW I believe in having boundaries around the house within reason. I think the younger the child is, you should create an environment where you aren't constantly having to redirect. I also believe in allowing natural consequences within reason so that a child will learn without parental intervention.
