Okay, I promised I would share with you more treasures we have in our home that I think truly shape us. This one is called, Wise Words for Moms.
It looks like a wall calendar. Which I think is a good idea cause it a quick reference guide to what to say when you interact with your children.
Inside is a list of behaviors a child may need addressed. For example: Whining.
Then next to it there are 2 or 3 heart probing questions you would ask the child. Ex: Are you communicating with a self-controlled voice?
Then there is a scripture that reproofs and one that encourages.
Reproof : "Whining is an ungodly form of communication." Titus 2:12
Encouragement: God wants you to use self control, even with your voice. Titus 2:12
Ginger Plowman lists a bunch of offenses to help steer our children toward pleasing God and knowing what the bible says about it.
Some are:
Revenge
Tattling
Selfishness
Lying
Destructiveness
Giving up
Defiant attitude
and more.
I love this little tool!

That seems really neat. It'd be nice if you could view it on Amazon. I would like to look into that.
You have such a cute and inspiring blog. I love it!
It really is neat. I think they don't show the details cause then you could see it and no one would buy it. I think she should make it a downloadable thing.
Thanks for leaving a comment. I LOVE comments. They make me feel like I am not alone. : )
I ordered it today. :) I'll get it thursday.
That is great Bridgett. Don't be afraid to pull it out and 'read' it just after the offence. The kids don't care if you read it. You may feel silly but the main thing is what it does to their heart!
