Essential Parenting Principles for Every Stage of Your Child's Life.

Whether you're sleep deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its ups and downs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups and small victories. And no matter our family makeup or our children's personalities, many of us experience anxiety over our children's futures and often fear making a mistake.

Andy and Sandra Stanley are no strangers to this feeling. As parents of three grown children and cofounders of North Point Ministries, they are seasoned experts on faith and parenting. Together they have spent decades counseling countless families, mentoring others, and learning from mentors of their own, all while leading one of the largest churches in the country.

In Parenting: Getting It Right, Andy and Sandra combine their experience and wisdom into a guide that helps readers understand and live by essential parenting principles. In an inviting, conversational approach that is both informative and accessible, the Stanleys help readers understand the most important goal in parenting and learn the steps to pursue it by:

• Learning the four distinct stages of parenting
• Clarifying the primary goal of parenting and developing a parenting orientation around that goal
• Identifying and adapting their approach--not their rules--to their children's distinct personalities
• Deciding on their shortlist of non-negotiables and learning to stick to it

You don't have to constantly doubt if you're getting it right as a parent. Start here and feel confident about raising a healthy and happy family.

Relationship-no matter what

The book was clear on the message, inspiring stories with real life identifiable examples of what to do & not do. Convicting on some of my parenting methods. The information in this book has opened my heart & mind to know & understand Jesus better & increased my desire to be a better relational parent.

Wonderful

Great book, that focused on many aspects of parenting without being a sermon. I was pleasantly surprised that the book wasn't just surface level biblical principle. Very well organized and written.

Excellent

Like others, I took lots of notes and so many things we will be implementing in our family lives! Lots of takeaways from this book!! I’ll be having my husband read it as well!

The parenting book I’ve always needed!

Well, I can’t spend too long writing a review, so let me simply say this: as a pastor, and as a father, this book has opened up so much grace build space. I am recommending this book to all of my peers, and quite frankly, to the many families that attend our church. not only is this book practical, but it is full of heartfelt wisdom. I can’t recommended enough!!!

Great for fostering direction for your family
