Christian parenting
It has been suggested that this section be split into a new article titled Christian parenting. (Discuss) In the United States, disparate models explicitly termed "Christian parenting" are popular among some parents who claim to apply biblical principles to parenting. Information on Christian parenting is found in publications, Christian parenting websites, and in seminars devoted to helping parents apply Christian principles to parenting.[citation needed] While some Christian parenting models are strict and authoritarian,[which?] others are "grace-based" and share methods advocated in attachment parenting and positive parenting theories. Particularly influential on opposite sides have been James Dobson and his book Dare to Discipline,[12] and William Sears who has written several parenting books including The Complete Book of Christian Parenting & Child Care' and 'The Discipline Book'. In a study[13] of Christian parents done by Christian Parenting Today in 2000, 39% of the families surveyed have family devotions once a week or more, and 69% of parents consider Sunday school, youth and children's programs extremely important. |
