Raising Great Kids: A Comprehensive Guide to Parenting with Grace and Truth

At last, here is an effective middle ground for raising up children who will handle life with maturity and wisdom.

What does it take to raise great kids? If you've read any books on parenting, conflicting opinions have probably left you feeling confused. Get tough! Show acceptance. Lay down the rules. Lighten up, already! There's got to be a balance — and there is.

Joining their expertise with the wisdom of MOPS International (Mothers of Preschoolers), Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend help you provide both the care and acceptance that make grace real to your child, and the firmness and discipline that give direction.

Avoiding the twin extremes of permissiveness and over-control, Drs. Cloud and Townsend show how you can help your child cultivate six necessary character traits:

  • attachment
  • responsibility
  • reality
  • competence
  • morality
  • worship/spiritual life

Raising Great Kids will help you equip your son or daughter to accept life's responsibilities, grow from its challenges, and freely and fully explore all that it has to offer. Workbooks for different seasons of your child's life (sold separately) provide practical exercises to help you apply the wisdom in this book.
