The Impossible Kid

Parenting a Strong-Willed Child with Love and Grace

By: Lucille Williams, Monica Welch

Narrated by: Lucille Williams

When a mother's journey begins, one is venturing into the unknown.

"It's hard to imagine what this tiny little baby will be as an adult. My journey was difficult, heart-wrenching, and laborious and yet joyful, worth every tear and strife. My child seemed impossible to me, but God chose me to be the mother of this impossible child. And what we deem impossible, God makes possible (Luke 18:27)." (From the introduction)

In The Impossible Kid, relationship coach and pastor's wife Lucille Williams writes an exceptionally honest and funny account of parenting a strong-willed child. Through 11 entertaining chapters, this book provides practical tools for parents to sow seeds of encouragement in their kids as they aspire to raise adults who reflect the nature and character of God. Endorsed by Dr. Gary Smalley, The Impossible Kid is an encouraging and informative listen, covering topics including family dysfunctions, feeling like an inadequate parent, creative and effective discipline, parenting with integrity, the dreaded sex talk, learning to laugh together, and keeping God as the focal point in the home.

This book was so encouraging and helpful. So thankful for the grace God gives and we can intern give to our children.

Just what I needed to hear as a parent

I loved the way this book was written from the mom’s point of view and had the daughter’s input after each chapter. I loved hearing the personal stories and that I’m not alone in having a strong willed 15 year old daughter. The teen years have brought twists and turns we were not ready for, but hearing this book reminds me that living our children unconditionally, giving them grace, speaking life into them, and gently guiding them is what’s most important. Thank you to the author and her daughter.💛

I will be listening to this again! Gives me hope that everything will be okay with advice on how to get there!

Some pieces are very relatable to my season of life now. Some gives encouragement and direction for future seasons.
