Synopsis

In this unique combination of personal history, interviews, and social science, a young millennial shares surprising reasons that youthful rebellion isn’t inevitable and points the way for raising healthy, grounded children who love God.Teen rebellion is seen as a cultural norm, but Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach begs to differ. In Why I Didn’t Rebel--based on a viral blog post that has been read by more than 750,000 people--Lindenbach shows how rebellion is neither unavoidable nor completely understood. Based on interviews with her peers and combining the latest research in psychology and social science with stories from her own life, she gives parents a new paradigm for raising kids who don’t go off the rails.Rather than provide step-by-step instructions on how to construct the perfect family, Lindenbach tells her own story and the stories of others as examples of what went right, inviting readers to think differently about parenting. Addressing hot-button issues such as courtship, the purity movement, and spanking--and revealing how some widely--held beliefs in the Christian community may not actually help children--Why I Didn’t Rebel provides an utterly unique, eye-opening vision for raising kids who follow God rather than the world.

It was sheer curiosity that prompted me to pick up Why I Didn't Rebel by Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach. The subtitle states that the book is written by a millennial who did not rebel as a teenager and I was also a millennial who did not rebel as a teenager, so I wanted to see if our experiences were s......more

Goodreads review by Sarah

I'm probably going to type something that is not popular. Just because the teen rebels doesn't mean it's the parents fault. Parents are not perfect, teens are not perfect. But just because a parent is wrong doesn't mean a child or teen can rebel. God knows God's in control. God can help the teenager......more

Goodreads review by Bobby-Kimberly

Although I didn't agree with every principle and questioned some of the points of view (always the adolescent/never the parents) this was a very refreshing parenting book. There were quite a few times while reading, where I paused and though "wow, that's really insightful!". Full of research and sto......more
