From interaction with their peers to the instruction and correction that they receive at home, children interpret their experience from a worldview that seeks to answer their fundamental questions: Who am I? What do I exist for? Where can I find joy? We need to provide our children with a consistent, persuasive, biblical framework for understanding the world God has made and their place in it. Instructing a Child's Heart is essential to Shepherding a Child's Heart. The instruction that you provide for them not only informs their mind; it is directed to persuading their hearts of the wisdom and truthfulness of God's ways. Impress truth on the hearts of your children, not to control or manage them, but to point them to the greatest joy and happiness that they can experience delighting in God and the goodness of his ways. 继百万家长喜爱的教养经典《子女心，父母情》之后，泰德-特里普潜心积淀了13年，推出又一力作《陶塑子女心》。两部经典均贯彻了作者一再强调的理念，即牧养心灵比纠正行为更重要。 《子女心，父母情》侧重于引导父母从重视外在的顺服转向重视子女的心灵。 《陶塑子女心》强调父母要在问题发生之前进行教导，将真理铭刻在儿女的心版上，帮助子女建立以上帝为乐的世界观。无论文化中充斥着多少怀疑论，无论社会怎么喧嚣尘上，这个世界观都能让孩子确信《圣经》足以解释与回应生活中的一切。
