This testimony is from Maria Arnold, ICMI graduate in India (with her husband and three children to establish the ICMI base there)
 
The book she mentions is found at http://kidzbattlezone.com/  It is written in Australia, printed in Singapore, about a family of boys initially raised in India.  It was a gift to us in Egypt!! I HIGHLY recommend it for every parent and teacher.  Mom Gwen
 
Dear Mom Gwen,

I wanted to share this with you.  It is a wonderful testimony for our 
family.  Maybe it would be a blessing to share with others as well.  
I hesitated, because I want the motive of my heart to be pure, and I 
don't want to take any credit for what God has done. "God, purge any 
pride from my heart.  This is completely Your doing!"

While Rick was in Egypt, we both felt convicted about the lack of 
focused time we spend with our children.  Too much TV, too much rowdy 
play time with the neighbors; not enough family time, not enough 
emphasis on prayer and the Bible.  We could see the effects in their lives 
also.  They (especially David) were getting more spankings and had 
bad attitudes, were disobedient, unthankful, etc.  When we would go 
to prayer they would only say, "when are we done....."  I was 
disturbed and frustrated.

Here are some specific examples:

• Micah and David liked watching Lion King - which seems harmless.... 
  Then one day David was pretending to be the lion king.  He piled up 
  some pillows and sat on top. Then he said, "Everyone bow to me. I'm 
  the King."  This was very alarming!
• David just loves Spiderman, Superman and Batman - even though he 
  doesn't really know much about them.  Once we watched a Spiderman 
  movie and once a super heros cartoon.  For months he constantly talks 
  about being a super hero and about these "heros" in his life.
• Again, David seems to be drawn to the "bad guy" side and talks about 
  bad guys, even the devil, far too much.
• Micah is often concerned about how she looks and wants to be 
  "pretty." Which is not wrong, but too much of an focus on self.
• Micah was too shy to pray out loud, etc and always worried about 
  other people laughing at her - again too much self.

The book you gave Rick, "Kid's Battle Zone" confirmed what we were 
feeling.  So, we began making major changes.  We went through all our 
videos and got rid of everything that was negative in any way (the 
children had enough discernment to know which ones were bad!). And 
now we let them watch clean videos only about 3 times a week.  Then 
we went through the toys, books, and clothes.  We feel that things 
like Spiderman, Barbie, etc have negative influences.  SO to the 
trash they all went!  I was again amazed at their ability to discern 
what was bad and WHY!  They did not complain at all, but agreed this 
was right.  Awesome!  We have also limited their playtime with other 
children.  They tend to get so worked up when playing with their peers.

Now we have seen a HUGE change in their attitudes.  They participate 
in prayer every day.  During our daily prayer meeting, they both lead 
out in singing, pray out loud 3-4+ times, and like to do Bible 
dramas. Sometimes they pray things we haven't mentioned, and with the 
anointing.  They "pretend" to be Bible characters and act out the 
stories during play time.  They get along SO much better (less 
arguing and fighting), and their overall behavior is much improved!  
Rick has been telling testimonies of his life to them each night.  
They love it!  He teaches bible lessons, they love it!  They sit 
still just like if they were watching a movie.  Micah just stares at 
him as if it is penetrating her very depth!  She is hungry for God's 
Word.  Imagine the great impact this is having on their future lives!

True, they are just 5 and 6 years old.  There will naturally be 
restlessness, arguing, etc. But it is much less than before.  God is 
working in them and using them.

I AM SO THANKFUL!  What a wonderful testimony.
I know some people may say we are extreme, or that "I played with 
Barbie and I'm ok" (I've even said that myself).  But now that I see 
the amazing change in their lives in two short weeks, I will not back 
down!  I have begun to see the demonic influence behind many movies 
and toys that provoke our children to ungodly behavior.
By the grace of God, we determine to keep the standard high in our 
home.  To the Glory of God!  Hallelujah!

Really it is truly amazing - and SO simple.  If only parents would 
try it!  The devil is out to steal our children, but it is not so 
difficult to lead them toward God.  We just have to take the effort 
and make it a priority. We may be criticized as extreme or "holier 
than though", but it's worth it.  We took the first steps and God is 
really helping us.  I am SO thankful for what He is doing in our 
children.
