Paul Tripp Parenting Study Guide

Tripp’s study guide opens the first session by having us map out our own anger triggers before touching kid behavior at all, and I wasn’t ready for how fast that flipped the usual checklist. We tried it last week with two other couples and the “what am I worshiping” prompt landed on screen time for me in a way the book intro didn’t prepare me for.

That prompt about what we’re worshiping really does flip the script fast. Screen time creeping up as my own thing caught me off guard too, even though the book sets it up that way. It made the whole anger mapping feel less like a checklist and more like something that actually stuck.

Screen time showed up in half the triggers I listed once I actually wrote them down, and it made the worship question feel way more personal than I expected.
