An exploration of ten different ways in which parents can learn or re-learn how to connect with God as his child, written by Parenting for Faith's ministry lead Anna Hawken.
For first-time parents, those initial few months of parenthood can seem like your lives have been taken over completely by the tiny human you've brought into your home. Sometimes, it feels like your bundle of joy has crowned themselves as your realm's new ruler, and you're suddenly servants entrenched in a new regime, but you didn't get a copy of the manifesto of nebulous laws and rigorous expectations. Well, the baby probably feels the same way.But not to worry, as you might guess from the surprisingly large number of people on this planet who have been willing to procreate more than once, if both ruler and subject devote themselves to one another, and try to maintain a modicum of patience, empathy and humor, fulfillment, and maybe a little fun, can be had by all. This collection of one such baby's reflections on his first year of rulership may give new parents a comical perspective on what changes they might see within their own realm, as their own new Overlord settles in.

ARE YOU PARENTING OR ARE YOU PARENTING WELL?Raising kids today is more challenging than it has ever been. Technology, social media, and the ever-shifting standards of what is right and wrong can make parenting in modern-day culture difficult to navigate. If we want to win the battle as parents, we need to have the desire to truly parent well. If we want to parent well, we must resolve to make parenting more important than almost anything else and give it the effort and attention that's required. With all the outside influences that kids are facing every single day, parenting well requires a heightened sense of commitment and discernment, as well as a willingness to lead by example. Most parents want to do the best job they can, and with much focus and effort can succeed in this very noble desire and responsibility. In Salt, Light, and Kids, Steve Hines helps parents train up their children to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world and to hear God's voice above all the competing voices vying for their attention."Whether you're expecting your first child or in the frontlines of the teen years, you will discover Salt, Light, & Kids to be an invaluable resource for your parenting journey."--CHRIS HODGES, NY Times bestselling author and Senior Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL

In children between the ages of 1 and 5, temper tantrums are common, and up to 83% of 2-4 year olds have them regularly.

Do any of the below sound familiar?Refusing to get dressedScreaming blue murder because you asked them to put their shoes onThrowing their breakfast on the floor because the spoon's the wrong colorInconsolable tears because the cat went outsideEvery parent goes through this. Toddlers are at a stage where they are developing their independence and pushing boundaries, and they have more feelings than they can understand or express. How many times have you given in to them for the sake of a quiet life? Most parents have, and if you've done it, you know that it doesn't help you out in the long term. So how can you handle your toddler's tantrums in a way that minimizes damage, ends the drama as quickly as possible, and sets your child on the road to being a confident, happy child? The answer lies within positive discipline, a behavioral management technique that reduces the drama and allows you to set clear boundaries your toddler will understand. All too often, we resort to punishments, but time and time again, research has shown us that this is useless. Positive discipline is built around empathizing with your child, giving them space to feel their feelings, and helping them find solutions to their problems. By rejecting traditional discipline models of reward and punishment, you can create mutual respect between you and your child, improving their confidence and self-esteem for life. In Positive Toddler Discipline: Proven Strategies to Tame Tantrums and Nurture Their Developing Mind, you'll find everything you need to know about managing your toddler's tantrums. Here's just a taste of what you'll discover:Where the idea of positive discipline comes from--and why it worksThe key reasons why your toddler is pushing your buttonsThe secret weapon to taming your child for goodThe #1 mistake every parent makes when talking to their toddler, and what you should be doing insteadWhy the language you use matters, as well as which type of words your child will respond best toHow to set helpful consequences without resorting to punishmentPractical tips to use in the face of a major meltdownA blueprint for navigating daily routines with a toddlerAnd much more. If you thought drama was an inevitable part of parenting a toddler, think again. Positive discipline has been proven effective by childcare professionals and focuses on a deep understanding of toddler psychology. By adopting its key principles, you will be able to reduce the stress in your household and keep your cool every time your toddler has a meltdown. Stop allowing your child to rule the house--it's time to get some structure and peace back into your life.
