Thank you so very much for your wise counsel. My children were being extremely nasty to one another and generally making the entire household unpleasant. Within moments of reading this I began asking them to serve each other (it was dinner time) and immediately the attitudes changed and they began laughing, joking and we had a pleasant dinner ( of course we did pray at dinner as well). I am going to continue this course of action and continue visiting your website for more great parenting tips. Thank you!

This has to be one of my favorite articles I have read in a long time! I LOVE the examples you gave and how you addressed the root of this issue. I have two boys, 3 & 9, whom get along for the most part but recently have been purposely not being as sweet as they should be by actions and words. I have spanked and was really needing some guidance. You hit home to what is needed. Thank you!

Your answer to me exemplifies what your whole ministry is about–awesome! I appreciate that you point out that you can train your kids all you want but without gaining their heart and pointing their hearts to Christ you’ve missed the whole point. Like someone already said, THIS is what critics of your ministry are totally missing. A friend of mine just loaned me the first volume of “No Greater Joy” and I am really enjoying it. THANK YOU for your ministry.

I am so chastised by this article. I didn’t raise my children this way. Now that half of them are grown and out of the house, I see the error of my ways. “Service to others” was never my motivation– well-behaved children was. Thankfully, my husband DID understand service to others, and demonstrates it continuously. That must be the only reason they turned out so well; it certainly wasn’t because of my good example. Oh, how I wish I would have understood this before!! I guess my hard heart wasn’t ready to accept it until now.

My 4yr old daughter (single-child) has been refusing to do what she’s told, yells at me and mouths off so badly, I get shocked looks everywhere I go. She throws temper tantrums every few minutes. I work full time and my husband stays home with her. Not my choice. I’m reading your articles like crazy but my husband is not obedient to the Lord and so is not in control of his yelling and many times unwarranted sharp rebukes. I fear her increasingly volatile, unloving and ungrateful attitude is much like his now from his daily unintentional “training”. I just hope there is still hope despite the only couple hrs per day she gets with me. I read your book “created to be his help meet” so I’m weary of correcting him in front of her but I don’t want her to think it’s okay to treat her that way – and it’s then also okay for her to mimic it. Love your articles and how you consider the soul of the child. God bless you and your family.

What an awesome article! This is a revelation I did not have when I raised my children but
I have a good, close relationship with both of them…I will seek the Lord’s help in sharing this
with them even now. I love this ministry and each of you ‘second generation’ Pearls is evidence
of the abundant fruit on the tree of Mike and Debbie pearl. Glory to God!

I can not express how happy I am with your new website and latest magazine! The photos are gorgeous, the layout is thrilling and the best part is that the content is still the same. I believe that your same, life-changing messages are going to reach twice as many people with the new look that you obviously invested a lot of time and talent in! Thank you for always spreading the truth and working so hard to make it look fabulous!
