Know Your Child

Based on Scriptural directives, Know Your Child stresses in clear, "how to" language the ways to train a child in the direction of his own God-given capabilities. Dr. Temple affirms that each child must be considered individually because each child has his own built-in plan for development. He also deals with the basic emotional endowments and trends shared by all children, as well as with hereditary influences in personality formation. He discusses husband-wife relationships, maternal over-protection, the results of misplaced desires for approval and power, and psychopathological greed and miserliness. He offers guidelines for attaining maturity. He speaks of human individuality and of rebellious and intransigent conduct.

Solutions for basic, commonly-encountered problems of the home are moored upon a thorough interpretation of Biblical terms and passages. Dr. Temple also draws from experiences of his personal home life, where he and his wife (now deceased) and their seven children amply attest to the workability of the system of child knowledge and training contained in his book.

With firm convictions presented in the spirit of love, Dr. Temple offers an extremely practical book on child-raising for parents who firmly believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God-a book to be studied as a guide to living.

The final chapter challenges young parents with the statement, "Your well-disciplined child is your recommendation." Know Your Child is a step-by-step guide to assist parents in fulfilling this desired goal.
