Just like wild animals our children can smell fear.  OK so that is a bit dramatic, however especially for us first time parents each new adventure challenges our ability to draw on the scant resources at our disposal and offer a solution that will affirm prior parenting choices, protect our kids, keep us sane, and form our progeny into healthy, godly, and emotionally well adjusted children. OK so that might be seen as a bit dramatic as well.  The good news is we are not in this alone.  Not only do we have a marvelous Creator God to rely upon (I am in prayer over parenting choices with my 7 month old regularly), but we have the wisdom of His servants to draw from.

Jim Burns draws upon his years in ministry with youth and parents, as well as his own experience as a father, to provide for us a great tool that we can use gain confidence as parents.  Mom and dad, give yourself a gift this Christmas and pick up Confident Parenting to read together. You kids just might thank you for it.
