Does GKGW teach a legalistic, “one size fits all” method of parenting, not taking into account the individual needs of each child?
No, it does not. Quite the contrary is true. In just about every lesson, reference is made to the differences in children. In GKGW, parents are taught to bring their child to the standard, not bend the standard to their child, because God’s standard of right and wrong does not change; however each child with his or her unique temperament (given by God), will require different parenting methodologies and strategies to reach the same goals. Parents are encouraged to love children to the standard, encourage them to the standard, train them to the standard, and discipline them to the standard. In short, parents who take GKGW must learn to be thinking parents. There are no easy answers, no tricks or gimmicks, just biblical principles which a parent must learn to apply to life and to parenting.
