In regard to the Pearl’s theology, “To Train Up a Child” is not a theological work. Yet the presuppositions are based more solidly in scripture than anything I’ve read on the subject of childtraining. (I admit I haven’t read everything:)

I’d be interested to know more of your viewpoint. You’ve purported that a child believes they are “good enough” and unlikely to see their need for Christ when they’ve been raised with Pearl training techniques. How do you believe that happens?

I’ve got to disagree on the recommendation to use To Train Up A Child by Michael & Debi Pearl. I find it quite lacking, theologically. And that works out practically, in that I’ve seen in many families how it leads to children believing they can be “good enough” rather than in daily need of the Gospel and God’s grace.
