3. “A Passion for My Child's Faith”

In this resource, you’ll dive into child development concepts as you consider how kids your child’s age best engage with God and biblical truth.

4. “Equipping Your Kids to Make Good Choices”

Our kids will never make all the right decisions, and we shouldn’t expect them to.

But thankfully God has given us the privilege of influencing our children as they journey along the road of life, and this resource will help along the way.

5. “Discipline with Confidence”

Do you second-guess yourself at every turn when it comes to how and when to discipline your child? Many parents feel inadequate and that they've run out of effective discipline tools.
