KEY VERSE Deuteronomy 6:6-9 “And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” NOTES The newest YouTube sensation is the Facebook Parenting video by Tommy Jordan, a frustrated father wanting to get his daugther’s attention....the question for me is, is this going to work? People commenting on his video are saying things like: Tommy for President! Great parenting you show her who pays the bills!!! I totally understand the guys point of view, she doesn't need to post her problems on fb and it's the second time she had done it so obviously she had it coming. Great respect for you sir. Here’s my problem with the video: He’s responding immaturely to her immaturity....that never works He stuck to the facts, and didn’t even try to get to the feelings Punishments tend to be worthless if the child doesn’t know about them in advance Parenting hero? No. Typical example of the parent trying to do the right thing, but blowing it with their strategy.
