 "Biblical Parenting: Cheerful Obedience"Applying Child Training in Your Home and Your HomeschoolPresented by: Bill and Mary Tanksley
- How do you train your children to pay attention to you when you speak to them or ask them to do something?
- Can you train them to love and learn together rather than dealing with sibling rivalry?
- What tools should you use to instill discipline in your children?
- Is there an effective way to train your children which uses positive instead of negative reinforcement?
The most common excuse used by parents to avoid homeschooling their children is the parents' belief that he or she is not "patient enough" with their children. Somehow, these parents seem to have raised children that contend with them on decisions on a regular basis. And so, they argue, some other adult that is more patient with their children can be brought in to educate them. Maybe so, but probably not.
Perhaps the answer is to learn to train your children to exhibit the type of behavior that you desire. If you could do this, teaching them and training them to learn would be much easier. In fact, it would be much more rewarding than chasing them around the house or disciplining them all day to force them to obey. But how?
Bill and Mary Tanksley will present a systematic methodology of child training that really works. Tried and tested on their eight children, these techniques provided peace within the household and well behaved children around town and at home. Now they want to share their secrets with you. Join us for this illuminating discussion of how to train children to obey the first time, clearing the way for excellent results in your home school, and a happy fulfilled family!
Come ready to be encouraged and excited about your children's future!
