Christian life & practice; Advice on parenting

This book will appeal to all parents with children of any age, no matter how badly they feel they have failed in raising their kids. The book is also ideal for parenting educators and trainers, pastors, counselors, volunteers, and professionals who work with kids.

Parenting with Humility...

We often realize that we learn as much from our children as they learn from us. So why don't parents approach the task of child-rearing as a learning experience, rather than a mandate to make sure their kids succeed in life?

To reduce the pressure and enjoy greater closeness in your family, turn your parenting upside-down by allowing God to use your children to help you grow up. Imagine what would happen if you began to prize what you're being taught by your children's quirks, failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about whether you're doing everything right as a parent. Now you can let go of the pressure to make sure your children succeed, and instead learn to grow into spiritual maturity by listening to your children.
