Wouldn't you love to have a parenting expert show up at your house and give you customized insight for raising your children? Well this easy-to-use book is the next best thing. Each chapter introduces readers to a different Bible character whose story has a valuable lesson for parents.
Martha helps parents reframe their priorities, Hannah reminds us to trust our children to God, Peter shows us that mistakes are part of life. But rather than simply explain these ideas, the authors give parents all kinds of diagnostic tools to determine how these stories apply to their unique children.
You'll get information on age-appropriate expectations, discover how to discern a child's temperament, and learn the difference between natural consequences and meaningful consequences. You'll also find plenty of space for reflection and prayer.
