Taming the Lecture Bug

Frustrated parents lecture their kids before they realize the words are coming out of their mouths. No matter how great your oratory skills, “Blah, blah, blah” is truly all they hear. Joey and Carla Link give practical tools to motivate kids to take ownership of their responsibilities so you can stop reminding, threatening, and lecturing them. Whether your kids are 3 to 23, you will find this an indispensable guide to get your kids to think for themselves so you can stop thinking for them.


Direct, simple, thoughtful and engaging! These are words that only begin to describe this practical, easy reading conversation that is Taming the Lecture Bug. While the truths are biblically based, the topics covered make this a helpful tool for any parent training their 

pre-adult children for future success in higher education.
