Anger is a universal human experience. For many of us, it is the single greatest challenge in every area of our lives. We have been taught that anger itself is a sin and should be avoided at all costs. However, anger is also understood to be 'nature's way' of preparing man to respond in times of danger. How then do we go about bringing this volatile emotion under the Lordship of Jesus Christ? Gary Chapman gives us the perfect tool to answer this and many other questions in The Other Side of Love.

Children need love. Parents need respect. It is as simple and complex as that! When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn't declare, "You don't love me." Instead the parent asserts, "You are being disrespectful right now." A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, "You don't respect me." Instead, a child pouts, "You don't love me." A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes.

Publisher's Summary
Is technology bringing your family closer together or driving you farther apart? Children today are no longer playing hide-and-seek outside or curling up with a good book - instead they've been introduced to a world of constant digital entertainment through television, video games, and mobile devices. And while technology has the potential to add value to our lives and families, it can also erode a sense of togetherness and hinder a child’s emotional and social development. In Growing Up Social, Gary Chapman and Arlene Pellicane will empower you with the necessary tools to make positive changes starting today. Through stories, wit, and wisdom, you’ll discover how to take back your home from an overdependence on screens. Plus, you'll learn to teach the five A+ skills that every healthy child needs to master: affection, appreciation, anger management, apology, and attention. Equip your child to be relationally rich in a digital world. Replace mindless screen time with meaningful family time. Establish simple boundaries that make a huge difference. Discover what's working for families that have become screen savvy. Learn healthy ways to occupy your child while you get things done. Now is the time to equip your child to live with screen time, not for screen time. No phone, tablet, or gaming device can teach your child how to have healthy relationships - only you can.

Very little about screen time
Made it 2.5hrs in and only learned two things about screen time, set time limits and monitor content. The book is about how to raise children and although has great information, gives no additional instruction in how to use screen time with children to enhance lives or make them more successful in the future. If only mentions screen time and how it causes destructive behavior and how parenting and spending more time with children can benefit.

A must read for today's young parent!
This was very educational and critical for all parents and grandparents to read when raising the next generation. It taught me that what I thought was helpful in teaching my children about technology, actually is very harmful to their growth and future success. We made immediate changes for our toddlers and already see them interacting more with books, puzzles & eachother!

Absolutely excellent.
Really comprehensive guide to regulating parent and child use of social media but it’s also way more than that. Great advice and techniques to help develop kids into strong successful disciplined humans with morals and the ability to be socially appropriate, deal with anger, accept responsibility, focus and persist with tasks and just be great people. Should be required reading for parents and future parents.

To many inaccurate generalizations
The author makes technology and screens the enemy. Whereas they, like fire, are a tool. In moderation and under control they are invaluable, but when you serve them, the potential for destruction is massive. This book was frustrating.
