My youngest son whines a lot. Being the good social worker that I am, I am pretty sure that he whines because it works. The problem, in my estimation, is that I'm not quite sure what way the whining is working. I am very careful to NOT give him whatever he is whining for, yet the whining persists. So, I figure he is getting something out of these interactions and I picked up this book hoping to figure that out. Clearly, I approach my parenting with my children in a largely behaviorist way.

I randomly grabbed this off the library shelves when looking through some parenting books. Our son has been in whining and bad attitude overload recently so I thought I'd give the book a try.
I was pleasantly surprised by the book. The idea is all based on honor and how a family can bring honor into their home, both honoring the parents and honoring the children.

Good words about the heart of your child and not just outward obedience. Interested in looking into their honor curriculum.

Excellent. About family, not just whining. Now just to do the hard work of teaching it to myself and daughter.

This has been the only parenting book so far that I have read that I would actually feel good in recommending to someone. Most parenting books tell you what you should do and make judgments about how your kid will turn out rotten if you don't do what they suggest. This one actually gives PRACTICAL advice on what you should do with your children and how you should teach them to honor God, parents, and people around them. It even gives conversation starters and other cool tips like that. I hope

I REALLY enjoyed this book. It had many wonderful ideas/concepts in it. Not even just for parents and children I think it could go for anyone working with kids, grandparents, carechild givers etc. I have a whole new outlook on HONOR now.

I think the title is misleading. This book actually goes far beyond annoying kid behaviours. It is a proactive guide to instilling honor in the family. It's not just for families with problem children. Every family could benefit from this!

bye bye.
love this book. I would be such a great parent if I could follow the biblical principles in these pages, but I always get in the way!

This book outlines an honor-based approach to parenting. I love how it not only helps you teach your children to honor you, but to also honor each other as YOU honor THEM. It definitely changes my mindset about what biblical parenting looks like! I highly recommend it.

I've read this book AT LEAST THREE TIMES and will probably read it again this year. It's an easy read, GREAT examples, and helps move your child from "respecting" to "HONORING" parents (do things the first time with a HAPPY HEART - or good attitude

This is a WONDERFUL parenting book. Highly recommend it. The cover and title absolutely do not do it justice. We did this in our small group at church, and it was pretty much universally loved.

Started out strong with a great concept. Lost momentum about 1/2 way through - no real actionable examples for parents to follow. Would have liked more direction and less theory.

I have to read it again to really begin to implement the techniques and attitude of honor in my own life.

Very enlightening. I'm learning about teaching my boys (and myself) how to make honor a priority.
