Heartfelt Discipline: The Gentle Art of Training and Guiding Your Child
Product Description
Christian parents are sure of one thing–they must discipline their children. Ask them to define discipline, however, and you will find little agreement. Many parenting experts support a strict, “hands-on” approach–usually in the form of spankings. Other believers think a permissive, “hands-off” is the best way to demonstrate love. Caught between these extremes, well-meaning parents feel torn and even more confused about what the Bible really says on the subject.
Is there a better way to lovingly train and guide our kids? Yes, says author Clay Clarkson, and in Heartfelt Discipline he offers a long-awaited, biblical discipline solution that is caring and effective–one that leaves parents feeling confident and guiltless, not saddened or conflicted.
At last, here is a faith-directed approach to discipline that spares the rod but doesn’t spoil the children. Through biblical advice, answers to commonly asked questions, and positive encouragement, Clay Clarkson presents a new, biblical model of discipline–one that allows parents to embrace a completely new way of thinking about childhood discipline, renew their relationships with their children, and transform the dynamics of their family life.

The Child As Critic: Teaching Literature in Elementary and Middle Schools
Product Description
In this revised and expanded third edition, the author offers theory and practice for creating and implementing holistic, literature-based approaches to the teaching of reading. Sloan uses a proven research base and many examples from actual classroom practices to present teachers with numerous practical suggestions for planning these programmes, including information on small-group discussion techniques, questioning, ways of eliciting response, record-keeping, evaluation, book selection and appropriate methods of presentation. Part 1, “Literature and Literacy”, explains the tremendous advantage the study of literature has over a basal reading programme in developing in children the desire and the ability to read. Part 2, “The Unifying Principles of Literature”, examines Northrop Frye’s literary philosophy, detailing how even very young children can grasp the universal patterns present in all literature, and how this unity can be a springboard to true literary criticism at any age. Part 3, “Theory Into Practice”, provides teachers with a wealth of specific strategies and examples to help students find, through the study of poetry and prose, their own ability to create literature, as well as to experience it and criticize it. The extensive list of literary works and the “Resources for Teachers” section will assist teachers in locating appropriate books for use in their classroom. Teachers, language arts supervisors, curriculum specialists, even parents should find this book a necessity in creating literature-based reading programmes – programmes that should be fun and inspiring for both the student and the classroom professional.
