February Meeting Notes

As usual, we had a great meeting and discussion at our February AMI meeting.  It was good to see some mothers we hadn’t seen in a while, and to have a new person join us. Welcome! Anyone is welcome to come to our monthly meetings.

Our topic this month was on the book “Christlike Parenting, Taking the Pain out of Parenting” by Dr Glenn Latham.  We agreed that this book was similar to Dr Latham’s book “The Power of Positive Parenting” that we study each month.  However, this book adds a Christian perspective to parenting which is very refreshing. Here are some highlights from our discussion:

  • Envision a time when you have felt pure love for your child
  • Don’t judge yourself as a parent by your child’s actions- good or bad
  • Discipline is training that corrects and is necessary
  • Children want structure
  • Good parents maintain Christlike behavior despite children’s behavior
