Christ-Centered Intentional Parenting

After my two year old'Äôs tantrum and my preteen'Äôs tirade, our family had tears for breakfast. Between agency and protecting, parenting and respecting, sometimes I can'Äôt manage the stress and blow up at them. Later, I regret the way I treated them and feel terrible as a parent.

Have you ever . . .

• Regretted yelling at your kids?
• Run out of patience when repeating yourself for the fourth time?
• Wished you knew better ways to handle situations at home?

Jesus Christ is the exemplar of all things, even parenting! Learn how to consistently act in calm, positive ways instead of reacting in anger. Recognize mistakes as opportunities to teach rather than reasons to punish. Find out how you can parent with more confidence and compassion.

Sherene Van Dyke, mother of five and a parent educator, reveals how common family struggles can be resolved through Christ-centered, Intentional Parenting. Each chapter explores an attribute of the Savior and connects it to parenting. By looking to His example and striving to become like Him in all that we do, our hearts and our homes will be changed for good.
