Are you trapped and don’t even know it?

Matrix Parenting

Trace Embry compares parenting styles to the Matrix.

Red Pill or Blue Pill?

In the 1999 film, The Matrix, human beings never tried to escape their virtual reality, because they never realized they were in one.

Likewise, many parents today don’t realize they are virtual prisoners of their own politically correct parenting techniques. They’re also virtual slaves to their own kids.

They’ve bought into our psychology-induced system of parenting rather than that of a Biblical worldview.

Although scripture says we shouldn’t think of ourselves as greater than we ought, and that our children should honor their parents, pop psychology hails man’s self-esteem and the falsely fluffed “everyone’s a winner” philosophy for our kids. It’s a recipe for entitlement that rules our day.

Endorsements

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
