This calendar style chart is easy to reference and gives a scriptural solution when dealing with all common childhood issues, including blaming, complaining, fighting, giving up, disobeying, lying, revenge and arguing. I highly recommend this affordable product to anyone interested in Biblical Parenting.
Please don't listen to all the nasty reviews.....Please read on...!! September 16, 2008 It is obvious that those that have chosen to leave negative and nasty reviews have NEVER read this book or any of her books. There is NOWHERE in the book that she promotes "beating" children or babies. She uses scripture to get to the heart of the issue with children and realizes that there are some issues that require CONTROLLED spankings. I just told my husband this morning that the book, "Don't make me Count to Three", is the BEST book I have ever read on training a child's heart. I just wish it was out in audio form so he could also benefit from her God-given wisdom. Please don't allow the negative/nasty reviews keep you from something that could change you and your child for the better. If for no other reason, BUY THE BOOKS and see it for yourself. If you are looking for a CONTROLED Biblical way to train your child's heart and not just his behavior, I promise you wont be disappointed!!
One of the best purchases I have ever made August 7, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Wise Words for Moms is not really a book, but more of a list (cheat sheet) that is created to hang like a calendar for mom's to take a peek at quickly when dealing with her child's behavioral issues. A very wise older mom recommended this to me a few years ago and I have found it invaluable in dealing with my children's hearts and not just focusing on their bad behavior.
It is 3 calendar-like pages with various common behavioral issues listed down the first column. The second column has questions that mom's can ask to probe the heart of the child concerning that behavior. The third column is a "Reproof" column which has a few verses from the Bible that we can quote or read to our children so they know what God's Word says about the behavior. The fourth column is an "Encouragement" column which has a few verses we can use to show them what God says they should do instead. The last column has additional Bible references we can use to go deeper if necessary.
It is well worth the price for us moms who need to be able to get at something quickly without a lot of reading when we are a volcano about to explode!

I'm so glad I bought this chart. I can't think of anything I would add to it. Plowman includes 22 relevant and specific behaviors along with the reproof, encouragement, Scripture, and "heart-probing" questions for each. There is absolutely no basis for the reviews that say this product promotes "child abuse." I can't find anything in it that suggests physical discipline of any kind. I would highly recommend this chart to anyone, even those who don't agree with Ginger Plowman's book, "Don't Make Me Count to Three."
UnChristian Words for Moms April 16, 2008 0 out of 19 found this review helpful
Yet another book from Plowman that insults Jesus and Christianity by using them as an excuse for the sadistic abuse of children. The author shows an astounding lack of Biblical scholarship, freely twisting passages and quoting selectively to make her case, presumably trusting that the reader hasn't actually sat down and read the book cover to cover. Plowman's vicious teachings are about as far from the teachings of Jesus as you can possibly get. It goes without saying that she also rejects everything that modern science has discovered about the harmfulness of her methods, a rejection as ludicrious as dismissing what modern medicine has discovered about how to cure disease. Willfully ignorant, sadistic and deeply UnChristian, this is a truly horrible book. Consult it only if you care nothing for the teachigns of Jesus and hate your children.
