 Excellent source for practical application November 24, 2008
This is a chart meant to be a companion to her book "Don't Make Me Count to Three" It contains practical applications for what scriptures to use in certain situations. It is meant to get to the HEART issue and address what is driving the behavior instead of just correcting the outward behavior. It also encourages using the scriptures to tell the child not only what actions to put off, but also what to PUT ON. This way you are not just telling them "STOP THAT" or "WE DON'T DO THAT", but you are telling them what their behavior actually means and what to do instead. Thereby equipping them with tools to help them actually CHANGE instead of just STOP. It's true that her BOOK (not this chart!) does advocate controlled, loving use of spanking when appropriate, but this chart says nothing about spanking. It is simply a reference guide for Mom/Dad to use when training their child and teaching them why their behavior is wrong and what the better way is.
I would guess the string of negative, similar reviews in February came from a group of people who agreed to come on and post negative reviews. Especially since most of them talk like this is a book, not a chart. I'm guessing several of those people haven't actually read this chart. Because even if you disagree with the book, I find it hard to see disagreeing with the use of these scriptures if you are a Christian.

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

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."
