The Christian Parenting Handbook

With advice on

parenting coming from several angles, what do you listen to and what do you

ignore? Develop your own biblical philosophy of parenting and use it to filter

the many ideas that come your way.

In this book you’ll learn how to:

Identify character qualities to address problems

Build internal motivation

Transfer responsibility for change to the child

Teach kids to be solvers instead of whiners

Use creativity to teach your kids spiritual truths

Avoid the “boxing ring”

Envision a positive future

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 Christian

Parenting Handbook by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the

National Center for Biblical Parenting, compiles fifty 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.

The daily interaction you have with your children can impact

them for the rest of their lives. With these fifty 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.

As you envision a positive future for your children, they’ll experience hope

and direction and you will too. Start applying these principles today!
