This series/seminar may be thought of as a “how to” follow-up to Shepherding a Child’s Heart. There are two parts of the shepherding process: 1) formative instruction and 2) corrective discipline. Often, parents do not spend enough time on what we are calling formative instruction – instruction that forms or shapes a child’s thinking about reality. Formative instruction is what makes sense of the standards and values we hold out for children in times of correction and discipline. In that sense it is the biblical world-view or conceptual foundation for corrective discipline. Instructing a child’s heart both encourages parents with this part of their calling and provides some of the essential content of that instruction.
