Ways To Enjoy Your Children While Guiding Them
Emphasis tailored to the audience's interest in age
levels of children from pre-school through adult

Alternately talking to each other and to the audience, Ruth and Dennis together tell stories from their own experiences in raising three sons who are now healthy adults.

These anecdotes illustrate principles of child-raising. They add biblical quotations that convey these principles to create a triple impact that reaches listeners with their minds, emotions and spirits. The Gibsons typically tell six or seven stories in an hour.

Here's one example:

Story: Dad's apology for being late to breakfast with teen-age David

Principle: Just as a broken bone heals stronger than before the break, so a relationship honored by a parent's sincere apology for a wrong done to a child makes the relationship even stronger than it would have been without the wrong.

Scripture: Mt. 8:9 I myself am a man under authority.
