From the Publisher
Parents are facing the toughest challenge of their lives. They want
to create a loving family environment filled with mutual respect
and cooperation… but they find instead that human nature and the
influence of our culture combine to produce an atmosphere of
anxiety, exhaustion, and far too much screaming. Perhaps you can
relate!
Whether you scream at your children or not, you no doubt feel
anxious about them and their choices. You worry how they'll turn
out. Unfortunately for parents, many of the techniques some experts
present only seem to make matters worse. Hal Edward Runkel has
discovered why: Parents are spending far too much time orbiting
their lives around their children. They need to return the focus to
themselves. They need to grow up and calm down.
ScreamFree Parenting is about taming your reactive
responses to your deep anxiety. Rather than learning new
techniques, you'll discover the liberating principles, based on
scriptural truths, that are inspiring parents just like you to
revolutionize their family life. Principles that will enable you to
remain cool, calm, and connected with your children, no matter
what.
Learn how to parent less out of your deepest fears and more out of
the highest principles in ScreamFree Parenting.
Special edition distributed through Christian booksellers.
