Few parents would describe themselves as confident.
Most of the time, parents talk about their parenting efforts as a patchwork quilt of trial and error, hand-me-down family habits and survival mode.
Every parent — and involved grandparent— could definitely benefit from the skills and training needed for Becoming a Confident Parent.
Featuring three of the country's most highly regarded parenting experts, this program offers practical wisdom for building healthy, intentional relationships with children at any age or stage.
Confident Parenting applies God's word to "hot-button" issues and equips the parents in your community to meet the needs of their families.
You'll learn how to replenish your overcrowded life, overcome negative family patterns, and raise kids who love both God and themselves.
