Hemos intentado el uso de penitencias, la suspension de salidas y la correccion fisica. Pero aun asi los jovencitos no cambian. Tal vez seria oportuno probar nuevas estrategias. Cuando la correccion se lleva a cabo de manera creativa, resulta mas provechosa para el nino y para los padres. !Y llega a ser mas eficaz a la hora de producir resultados a largo plazo! ?Nuestros hijos han estado: * ?Actuando irrespetuosamente? * ?Mintiendo? * ?Quejandose? * ?Desordenandole todo? Para estas y otras situaciones que enfrentamos como padres, Lisa Whelchel nos ofrece ideas nuevas que nos ayudaran a ganar la batalla de la disciplina.

Drawing from the Book of Proverbs, the former star of "The Facts of Life," who now leads the fast-paced life of a wife, mother, speaker, and author, invites readers to consider how these ancient words of wisdom are applicable in raising young children today. Grateful to have these guidelines to live out the privilege of parenting, Whelchel turns to this supernatural advice to take on the sometimes superhuman task of loving, nurturing, discipling, and disciplining children. Organized as quick-reads for mothers with precious little free time while caring for their precious little ones, it's a smart selection for wise moms.

In an effort to make a difference that will last an eternity in the lives of grandmothers, their children, and grandchildren, Lisa Whelchel, author, Grammy nominated songwriter, pastor's wife, and mom of three, teams up with her mother to craft a simple guide to help even the busiest of grandmas develop a simple and stable prayer schedule. Probably more than anyone, grandmas know the value of investing time and love in the lives of their children and grandchildren. Sometimes, though, even a grandma's busy schedule can get in the way of what her heart wants to do. Determined to find a way for grandmas to have it all, Lisa Whelchel and her mother, the grandmother of her children, teamed up to create a guided prayer journal for the busy grandma, including a simple plan that takes only ten minutes a day for twenty days a month. Before they know it, grandmas will have said 120 power-filled prayers that will impact the lives of their children and grandchildren for years to come.

Surely you know someone who is an amazing prayer warrior but finds herself caught in the battle of day-to-day chores...and then winds up feeling like she has short-changed her prayer life because she has been slaying the dragons that cross her path in daily life. She's one of the busiest people you know, who truly cares about the people in her life...and in her children's lives...and in her friends' lives.

Lisa Whelchel has now given us (and our prayer warrior friends) a tool that can be used to leverage those rare and treasured moments of free time when we want to pray, but simply don't know where to begin. "The Busy Mom's Guide to Prayer" helps organize our prayer priorities so that we can pray in a practical and effective way and be confident that our petitions are covering people and issues that are important to us.

Lisa has provided the framework, you get to provide the content, and the Holy Spirit will provide the power!

A Bible Study Plan for the Busiest Mom! The Busy Mom's Guide to Bible Study is an amazing Bible study tool specifically aimed at moms.

Not only is this plan doable, it's satisfying. As a busy mom, you give of yourself all day long - often with no way to refresh and replenish the cravings of your own soul. But this simple three-month, come-along-beside-you guide will take you deep into the Word, nourishing your heart and soul. And in just three months, you will be a changed woman - changed by the power of God's word in you.
