Teachable Moments

Communication strategies for building a better relationship with your children, from a psychologist who has worked with families for over three decades.

Are you frustrated when your child is not responsive to your efforts to be a good parent? Are you shaking your head in confusion or barking orders as a last resort in getting through to him/her? Do you wish for more quality time with your child? Parenting is the toughest job-for which most parents have no training.

We tend to emulate our own parents, for good or for bad. In the Bible, Proverbs 22:6, we are told to "train your children in the ways of the Lord, so that when they are old, they will not depart from Him." Teachable Moments: Building Blocks of Christian Parenting is a source book for parents and helping professionals who want both the spiritual context and the step-by-step practical parenting tools with which to be effective, engaged, Christian parents.
