Understand Your Child First

Tedd Tripp, Shepherding a Child’s Heart

Tripp writes, “Your objective in communication must be to understand your child, not simply to have your child understand you.” Since Scripture says the heart is the wellspring of life, wise parenting listens for what is going on beneath the behavior. Correction without understanding often misses the real issue.

How you’d preach it

Communication aims at understanding the child, not only getting the child to understand you.
