The Christian Parenting Handbook

Bring about real and lasting change in your child's life and grow in your confidence as a parent.

With advice on parenting coming from friends, social media, popular culture, and so many other places, what do you listen to and what do you ignore? In The Christian Parenting Handbook, you will learn to develop your own biblical philosophy of parenting and use it to filter the many ideas that come your way.

The Christian Parenting Handbook by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the National Center for Biblical Parenting, compiles 50 parenting principles that use heart-based strategies to teach you how to face daily challenges. When parents focus on the heart, kids learn to ask different questions about life. Instead of asking, "What's in it for me?" they learn to ask, "What's the right thing to do?" You'll soon see how a heart-based approach to parenting looks deeper and brings about greater, lasting change.

In The Christian Parenting Handbook, you'll learn how to:



Identify heart lessons to teach your child
Learn ways to correct, instruct, and set limits
Transfer responsibility for change to your child
Build internal motivation
Teach your kids to be solvers instead of whiners
Identify character qualities to address problems
Use creativity to teach your kids spiritual truths
Envision a positive future for your children
And much more!



With these strategies, you'll be able to move from behavior modification to a heart-based approach to parenting. Instead of relying on rewards, incentives, threats, and punishment, you'll learn how to identify heart lessons to teach your child and implement them in practical ways.

The daily interaction you have with your children can impact them for the rest of their lives. With these 50 heart-based strategies, you'll develop your own biblical philosophy of parenting and gain perspective, greater motivation, and confidence that you're moving in the right direction!
