Before we get to any of the fourteen principles, Tripp wants to reframe the entire conversation — take this week to sit with the question he opens with: What is parenting actually for?
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tripp opens by describing parents who are exhausted, anxious, and buried in the daily grind of laundry, carpools, and conflict. How honestly does that description match your own experience of parenting right now?
2.He argues that most parenting resources offer techniques and to-do lists, but that techniques can't solve the core problem. What does he identify as the core problem, and do you agree with his diagnosis?
3.Tripp says that parents desperately need a "big-picture view" of what God is doing. What does he mean by that phrase, and why does he think the absence of that view is so dangerous?
a.What happens to a parent who is only focused on managing today's behavior problems?
b.What becomes possible when a parent holds a larger vision of God's purposes?
