Raising Great Kids Workbook for Parents of School-Age Children

More on Raising Great Kids Workbook for Parents of School-Age Children:

A workbook for parents of school-age children (6-12) to accompany Raising Great Kids, which is a joint project of authors Henry Cloud, John Townsend and Mothers of Preschoolers International (MOPS). In Raising Great Kids, Henry Cloud and John Townsend approach parenting from the perspective of their unique theological and developmental system, and MOPS provides the hands-on application. Most Christian approaches to character building focus on obedience to God and on moral functioning, but the authors will show how biblical character includes competent functioning in other areas such as relationship skills, responsibility and follow through, self-control, perseverance, delay of gratification, ability to lose and grieve, and the ability to forgive. Most resources for parents emphasize either structure and moral functioning over love, safety, and security or vice versa. Raising Great Kids provides a balance between these two parenting approaches.

Description of Henry Cloud, author of Raising Great Kids Workbook for Parents of School-Age Children:

The grade-school years from 6 to 12 are a time of learning more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. Your child is also developing the one thing above all others that will determine his or her success in life: character. This book helps you instill traits that are vital to your son or daughter's future well-being: connection, responsibility, reality, competence, morality, and worship/spiritual life.
