Parenting Today's Children Today

Well before you answer, fixing a child usually also means fixing the parents, fixing the environment, and fixing the relationships.

Perhaps a better question would be, “are you willing to invest the time, effort, and intentionality it will take to keep your child and your family from becoming damaged goods in the first place?” That’s going to require some self-reflection, divine intervention, and intentionality on your part.

It’s always harder (if not impossible) to fix the WHAT when we neglect to find out the WHY behind our children’s damaged emotions, their values, attitudes, and actions.
