We're so excited about the new Training Young Hearts Series by Abbey Wedgeworth. Designed to give parents, teachers and others a practical and biblical resource for motivating kids to positive behavior, this series is both fun and incredibly useful.
Read on for a sneak peek at the concept behind these lift-the-flap board books, as well as to see their framework.
"I love using what I like to call “training refrains” with my kids. These are repeated words and rituals that we employ consistently to help me to be proactive instead of reactive and help them to remember what is right. This series was born out of our training ritual for hitting and biting.
I wanted my kids to understand that Jesus was a child just like them. That he lived the life they couldn’t, died the death they deserved, and was raised in order that, by faith in him, they could become more like him as they live and one day be perfected. I wanted not only to teach them the right and wrong way to use their hands and mouths (although that is important) but also to show them that in Christ, they had more than a perfect example; they had a perfect Savior—someone to run to for forgiveness when they do wrong and for help when they need to be better.
I couldn’t be more grateful for the shape this series has taken, or more hopeful for the families who will use this series to be equipped not only to respond to undesirable behaviors proactively instead of reactively but to learn to view them as opportunities to share the good news of the gospel with their kids."

Bethany McIlrath loves to get lost in a book and to help others discover their next read in her marketing role at The Good Book Company. When she's not reading stories, she's usually writing them or dreaming about them as she comes up with real-life creative adventures for friends, her husband, and a doorbell-like dog named Indy. Serving in children's ministry is also one of her greatest joys.
