I watched The Burning Hell and Jesus Camp. One thing that stood out to me was all this talk about why hell is bad, you shouldn't sin, and what will happen in hell if you go there.
Neither spoke about how to be a good person and what you should be doing. Aside from the kids in Jesus Camp being told to elect more judges to ban abortion.
It would drive you mad to be constantly told what not to do, with no direction on hoe to be a good person
This is a parenting principle I’ve heard from the Conscious Discipline crowd: tell your kid what to do rather than what not to do. They don’t have the presence to immediately know a better alternative to what they’re doing, and all they can think about is what they’re told not to do. So most likely they will continue doing that.
Mr Chazz talks about this a couple minutes into this parenting analysis: https://tankie.tube/w/sKdHBXjZ8cTqbxsJC8cJxe
That's how i try to frame things with my kids whenever I can. I ket them know what i want them to do rather than just telling them to stop what they're doing
