From the Back Cover
Be the Parent Your Family Needs
If we are truly honest, most of us don't really know what we're
doing as parents. We have good intentions, but daily frustrations
and ongoing struggles might be evidence that we were better
prepared to drive a car or pursue our career than raise
children.
To counter the usual trial-and-error method of parenting, Jim Burns
offers time-tested advice and strategies for today's busy families.
Infused with his signature candidness and practicality, each
chapter explores a different aspect of parenting--from breaking
generational chains of dysfunction and creating a warm atmosphere
at home to handling discipline issues and blessing your children
with a legacy of faith. Helpful follow-up exercises and questions
along the way reinforce the basics of good parenting and provide a
foundation for developing your own family plan.
You won't find any quick fixes here, but you will learn how to make
a positive difference in your family.
