Hints For Parents

A guidebook to parenting using commentary on verses from scripture.

A set of teaching/couseling aids for professionals who offer parent education classes, parent counseling, or guidance to parents on child rearing and discipline.

The eternal truths of the Bible never change. God does not change, but cultural standards and expectations change with each generation. One of the benefits of reading books by saints from the past is that they surprise us by bringing a whole different set of cultural expectations and standards to their exposition of the unchanging truths of Scripture. Hints for Parents is full of practical parenting insights. Gardiner Spring candidly reminds us of God’s calling to us as parents and encourages us to pursue that calling with our eyes fixed on the hope that is found in God’s gracious promises to his people. Interspersed in the text are comments and encouragements from Tedd Tripp that help us fill in the gaps between the original publication date of 1835 and the present day.

Self-published book by an Idaho author who had a special needs daughter. This book was written as a practical, general information guide.

It is self-evident that parents and children garner the benefits of a great teacher but also pay some kind of price for anything less than a sterling teacher. Likewise, teachers and children share the advantages of committed, capable parents, but also suffer consequences when parental responsibility and efficacy falters. Therefore, parents and teachers must be allies who share common expectations, methods, and goals. This book, divided into three parts will help everyone achieve this goal.
