Book Reviews of Wise Words for Moms
Book Review: A Teacher's Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I purchased the pamphlet, "Wise Words for Moms", I read the reviews. There is almost no middle ground. People either loved it or hated it. As Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other..." (Matthew 6:24). When I read the negative reviews, many of them stated that this pamphlet advocated child abuse and beating your children.
As a mother of five happy, wonderful children (ages 2-18) and a public school teacher for 16 years, this really concerned me. I decided to purchase the pamphlet and see for myself what Ginger Plowman advocates in this writing. I was shocked to learn that NOWHERE in this booklet does she speak about beating, abusing (physically or verbally) or demeaning your children. She uses scripture to teach your child what God thinks about sin. The first page states that "Wise Words are to be spoken with a loving heart and a gentle voice."
Discipline is absolutely necessary in order to raise children to be content and happy adults. The word discipline means to "teach". It appears that some people are so worried about admitting that children may have sin in their hearts that they will make up outrageous allegations in order to prevent people from ordering this booklet.
In today's society, many people choose to avoid discipline at all costs. Children should absolutely be cherished and respected, but without training, they will never learn to become respectful, productive adults. Children need to know when they have done something wrong, what they should have done instead and that there are consequences for their actions. Love without discipline creates a society with no conscience because "everything is acceptable". Without proper training, children grow up to become adults that don't know the difference between right and wrong and don't respect others. Instead, they become self-serving adults with entitlement issues (believing that the world owes them and that they are to take as much as they can instead of giving). This breeds discontentment and unhappiness.
"Wise Words for Moms" is an excellent tool to help parents who want to "train up their children in the way they should go"... (Proverbs 22:6). It is loving and Biblical. It addresses the behavior of the children and teaches them to search their own heart and understand the motives behind their actions. The understanding of their motives leads to a conscious change of heart. Wise Words for Moms uses scripture to teach what God thinks of the children's negative behavior as well as encourages them to use positive behavior that honors God and leads to successful living.
