Helpful Score: 7

A parent has to take the Ezzo's suggestions with a grain of salt. "Eat the meat and spit out the bones". They have very helpful advice for structure, discipline and the whole value-system of raising children. It was helpful to know a "routine" to shoot for with each of my children (I have five) and the idea that your marriage should be your highest priority in the family. Requiring my children to use their manners and obey even before they could talk by using sign-language has been successful as well. I would just say that these suggestions not be taken to the extreme - which I see those who follow the Ezzos doing... Children are each unique in the sight of the Lord and they each should be trained according to their "bent". The Ezzos can be a little "cookie-cutter" oriented and I think it can suppress a child's personality if we're not sensitive to this. I am very thankful for the information the Ezzos have passed on, but ultimately, God's Spirit should guide us in how we raise and train His children!
