Whoever said parenting doesn't come with a handbook? This no-nonsense guide to raising children with love, integrity, and Biblical principles is exactly the book parents need today. Whether it's shepherding a child, instilling values, or simply learning to build in consistent family time each week, Raising Parents Is Tough is packed with solid advice and a bit of humor from a pastor, husband, father of four, and grandfather.
Some of the gems of wisdom readers will find in its pages include: dedicating your children to God; disciplining toddlers and preschoolers; closely monitoring children in public places to keep them safe; consistently providing attention, love, and direction; teaching your children to show respect for their parents and others; navigating blended families and the challenges they present for both parents and children; keeping peace in the home and ensuring personal household salvation; encouraging children's natural talents and bents; delivering consistent and fair discipline versus punishment; mandating church attendance to foster life-changing encounters with Christ; instilling the importance of prayer; mandating healthy personal exchanges and relationships-and time away from screens; guiding children toward appropriate clothing choices; handling the topic of teen sex; addressing the onslaught of social media messaging, cell phones, and other devices; addressing foul language, and throughout it all-instilling the lessons of Scripture into every facet of family interaction. Raising Parents Is Tough even addresses how to cope with and handle the inevitable empty nest.
Pulling from Scripture, leading psychologists, occupational therapists, Biblical scholars and teachers, revered books and other media, the author builds a case for parents to learn and practice the best in parenting techniques.
After all, as pastor, parent, and author Roger Loomis states, "Parenting is a twenty-four hour, 365 days a year privilege (leap year, too) . . . [and] one of God's greatest gifts."
