Description
Parenting and education are hard, and little frustrates an authority more than a child who refuses or seems unable to pay attention. To make matters worse, technology has reshaped the expectations of a child's attentional experiences. In the face of these frustrations, some parents resort to therapies and medications thinking that their child is abnormal or disordered. Yet Scripture offers proven counsel for parents to implement into their homes to properly gain a child's attention. In this completely revised edition of Teaching a Child to Pay Attention, Dr. Bergercompassionately examines this problem from a biblical perspective. Utilizing both Scripture and science, Berger shows that problems with attention can be either physically or spiritually rooted or both. Moreover, a means to discern the underlying problem that needs to be addressed is also offered. The reader will come to realize that attentional and behavioral struggles are not specific to children diagnosed as having ADHD nor are they abnormal struggles. Rather, these problems are universal and hinder children from success: all children must be taught to pay attention rightly. This premise, along with the understanding that the Scriptures address the child's spiritual heart and education, provides the framework for the solution. These two ideas make this book, like the first one, a no-nonsense yet compassionate guide to genuine hope for frustrated parents and educators. It offers parents, teachers, and those who disciple not only a clear understanding of attention, but also a step-by-step practical plan from Proverbs for teaching a child to pay attention rightly and helping them to succeed. The stakes are high and the discussion urgent, as relationships, personal faith, and outcomes are all dependent upon one's attention.
