Shaping the Next Generation: Helping Parents Seize Their Brief Window of Opportunity!
(Paperback)
by David Atchinson (Author), Elaine Atchinson (Author)
REVIEW:
Solid, Sensible Parent Training from a Christian Perspective
Among the best materials from a Christian perspective. The Atchinson's come from a Christian perspective but they draw a lot on the traditional, common sense model of parenting. For example, on the topic of integrity David tells a story of a boy fishing for bass with his dad.
They catch a prize winning bass just 45 minutes before the start of the season. But the dad points out that they can't legally keep it. Understandably the boy protests, but in the end agrees and somewhat heavy hearted, they return the fish to the water, hoping they can catch him again. The boy grew up and they never caught another that big. But the boy never forgot that lesson and it went with him into manhood. How does Atchison know? Because he was the boy. Now as a successful architect that principle has guided him in business and in all of life.
The Atchinson's are themselves are the real thing. We have used the video curriculum published by LifeWay for several years and on it you can see the genuiness of David and Elaine as they interact with their own kids, who by the time of the video were young teens.
