Becoming the Parent God Wants You to Be »

FINALLY, A PARENTING CURRICULUM THAT MAKES SENSE! If you’re tired of second-guessing your parenting skills as you hear conflicting advice from a variety of sources, you need Becoming the Parent God Wants You to Be. Written by bestselling author and parenting expert Dr. Kevin Leman, this curriculum takes a realistic approach to parenting, giving you the skills you need to raise your kids in the real world. "Too many parents live in constant fear that they’re going to do something to mess up their kids. One mistake and bam!, their child will join the skinheads or punkers," writes Leman. "What kids need today are not perfect parents, but good parents-someone like you." Becoming the Parent God Wants You to Be will help you become a good parent. You’ll learn things like *how birth order affects your family, *the difference healthy authority can make, *how “Reality Discipline” can work with your kids, *why children misbehave and what to do about it, *the power of parenting with love and limits, *and much more!
