Working with families for over twenty years in both church settings and the public sector, we have compiled key skills and attitudes that parents have told us made the greatest impact on their understanding of their children, and themselves. This book contains specific skills parents can develop through active learning experiences. As educators, we believe much is gained through self-discovery.
Parental attitudes also are explored in this text. Taking the time to clarify attitudes about children, parental roles and relationships can help parents make purposeful decisions in their interactions with their children. Our writing and teaching encourage parents to explore their own attitudes, hear some additional information, and then make choices that will be most effective in their own familes.
From the very beginning Family Impact knew that we did not, and never will, have all the answers. What we do have is a list of good resources: books, trusted professionals, and God. Healthy families seek help when challenges arise. God is the best resource of all. He is always “on-call” to provide us with wisdom and encouragement. As parents, we can look to God to be our partner in raising our children.
We are excited for the opportunity to share our work with you! Whether you are in a group setting, enjoying the connections and support of other parents, or reading on your own, it is our sincere wish that some little part of this book will make a positive difference in your relationship with your children, and in your relationship with God.
