Parenting strategies you can be proud of
You know the feeling. You got frustrated, desperate, or overwhelmed and you reacted before you could think it through. Whether it’s a one-time thing or it becomes a habit, we all parent in ways we don’t like. But it doesn’t have to continue. Whether it’s bribery, yelling, counting to three, or threats of punishment you didn’t mean to make, reacting never feels good. But if you can learn to act with intentionality, you’ll feel better about your choices and be grateful for the results.
Dr. Kathy Koch (pronounced “cook”), author of Screens and Teens and 8 Great Smarts, will teach you proven strategies for training your child’s heart and parenting in a way that honors God. She’ll help you move your child from, “I can’t, I won’t," to “I can, I will, and I did.” We can do better than “Because I said so.” or “No screen time for 3 days.” We can do better than mere behavior modification. We can change our children’s hearts and teach them to do what is good, godly, and right even when we’re not around. Once you’ve learned to put these motivation strategies in place there’s no more need to nag, you’ll be astounded at what your kids will do without being asked. Dr. Kathy doesn’t offer a quick-fix. Starting with the heart is all about changing what children believe in order to change their behavior. And learning to use this kind of motivation takes effort, consistency, and strategy, but it works. And it’s never too late! If you’re willing to commit to a little hard work up front, you’ll enjoy your kids, your life, and yourself much more when you learn to start with the heart.

- This somewhat small sized book is chocked full of guidance and suggestions and should be on the must-read list of all Christians involved with children. Moody Publishers sent me an early release of the book and the opinions are all my own. I'm a verified purchaser because I bought one to give away, I feel so strongly about this book. First of all, I love that it’s not intimidating by being a huge long read. I’m a busy mom and my time is precious. She gets straight to the point and this is a great size book to slip into my purse. Second, I’ve read many books on changing the heart but this is the first one that makes it so practical. There is a section at the end of each chapter on Things To Do and Things To Think About. Third, everything is grounded in scripture, which I love. You will be armed with plenty of scripture to point your child toward the Lord, and in a loving way. I thoroughly enjoy her guidance on taking off character traits that are not desirable and learning to replace them with those that are. Fourth, Kathy speaks to my heart by making sure we have a good relationship with our children. She guides you so you can build or repair a relationship with your child, and teaches you how to be a great coach for your child as well. This would make an excellent book for moms, dads, grandparents, those who are involved in children’s ministry, small group study, or husband-wife devotional/study. My husband and I have done quite a few of the Things To Do and it’s been so helpful to see our kids in a different way; to be able to help them start to change some character traits. My eyes have also been opened to some changes I can make to be a better parent as well. As it is noted in the book, more is caught than is taught about many things. Do yourself a favor and get this book and start reading it right away. It will inform, challenge, motivate, inspire, and give you hope. God has given you an amazing task of helping to shape a child’s heart and this book is an essential guide.
- Dr. Kathy Koch has a way of getting down to the bare bones of a subject and helping us all move from knowledge to action. In this book, Start with the Heart, she provides motivation for parents and a mindset shift that helps us move from being policemen of behaviors to influencers of the heart. I recommend this book to any parent or grandparent. Go through it with a small group, buy a copy for a friend and read it together. You will read this and parent differently as a result - with heart - to the heart - and making a life-long difference for your children in the process.
- I have so much respect for Dr. Kathy and her wisdom and I'm always on the edge of my seat when I hear her speak. I was so excited for this book and it did not disappoint! Thanks to Moody for the advance copy. A couple of highlights for me was that several times Dr. Kathy was really encouraging me as a parent - "Be brave" and "Let me encourage you". I feel empowered with real tools and ideas that I can incorporate as a parent. The book is easy to read and I will return to it often as a parenting resource. I really appreciated how she explained asking our kiddos different questions. It was a light bulb moment for me to just change my words a little bit. Dr. Kathy does not want us to be overwhelmed and truly desires to help parents guide children to their potential. This book could truly affect not just your parenting, but generations to come. Thanks Dr. Kathy for investing in us and our kiddos!
- Kathy Koch really hit the nail on the head with this book and stepped on my toes quite a bit. I'm so very glad I was part of the launch team for this book as it is going to be life changing for me and my 3 kids. I never really considered winning my children's heart and parenting them accordingly.
She addresses heart issues along with how to meet them where they are, being positive, knowing that every child responds differently to every situation, that even the smallest child desires to be unserstood, and so much more.
If you want a solid Christ based parenting book, this is definitely for you! - People always say they wish parenting came with a book to help them do it better. Thanks to Dr Kathy it does. She has poured her heart into this book for us parents so we can better disciple our children. This isn't just a "tips and tricks of the trade" book, this is a book about parenting our children's hearts. Buy it, read it, take notes and pray, and apply it in your lives with your children.
- Dr. Kathy Koch is a diamond in the rough, and I am so thankful for her wisdom. With her expertise in educational psychology combined with her steadfast faith in God and encouraging demeanor, she is a positive force to be reckoned with. This book "Start With the Heart" is certainly no exception. "Start With the Heart" gives many tools you can add to your toolbox that will empower and encourage you to make real and lasting change in your home. I have been slowly implementing some of the strategies Dr. Kathy suggests, and it's amazing how a few changes can really make a difference. I am hugely thankful for this resource!
- This book has been very encouraging and helpful. It’s also an easy read.
