23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

I have really been touched by our specific prayers for 4 months now that god would convict and change those who are promoting harming kids. Thanks for all who joined in! One thing on my heart as we get close to beginning a new month is the question: what if we spent the next 4 months praying that God would wildly bless and expand the ministries of some of the parenting teachers who are promoting gentle/positive/nonviolent biblical teachings of how to raise children? I know everyone has different favorites (sears? Coloroso? Lutton? VanVonderen? Those are all names I continue to hear really positively impact new parents... And I know there are so many more too) but we could maybe do a poll or something to select 4 of them and then pray daily for one each month. Would anyone be willing to join me in that? I believe there is a lot of spiritual warfare against these wonderful teachings becoming widespread- the enemy loves the stronghold he has over the Christian community by causing so many Christians to feel so passionate about the cause of promoting the hitting of children because they have been so misinformed that it is biblically mandated. And i would guess that even those who don't take a spiritual warfare worldview most likely would agree that there are at least major roadblocks (whatever the cause) to these nonviolent Christian parenting authors' work starting to spread the way the pro-violence authors' work has. It could make a great impact to pray and sure would be fun to watch! anyone in?

She wrote some things on bullying and parenting in crisis that I've heard are quite good, but her most famous book is kids are worth it: teaching your children the gift of inner discipline- it takes a strong stance against spanking and offers great alternatives. I might be remembering wrong but I think she was formerly a nun and then an educator?

Wonderful! She submits her Master's Thesis in 5 weeks. And her book will be out in a few months so I have been praying for both.
