Product Description Be the Parent Your Family Needs If we are truly honest, most of us don't really know what we're doing as parents. We have good intentions, but daily frustrations and ongoing struggles might be evidence that we were better prepared to drive a car or pursue our career than raise children.
To counter the usual trial-and-error method of parenting, Jim Burns offers time-tested advice and strategies for today's busy families. Infused with his signature candidness and practicality, each chapter explores a different aspect of parenting--from breaking generational chains of dysfunction and creating a warm atmosphere at home to handling discipline issues and blessing your children with a legacy of faith. Helpful follow-up exercises and questions along the way reinforce the basics of good parenting and provide a foundation for developing your own family plan.
You won't find any quick fixes here, but you will learn how to make a positive difference in your family.
What Others Say
Practical, godly concepts, thanks!
As a homeschooling Mom of 4, who works part time, I feel a bit frazzled from time to time. Last year my new year's "resolution" was to be more intentional. God led me to Confident Parenting, which speaks directly to this concept. We all come into adulthood with good and bad experiences in our lives. Some more of one than another. Either way we need to think about what we think God is calling us to be in our families and intentionally create that. It is so easy to fall into our old behavior patterns, but God through the Bible and other people like Jim Burns can give us what we need to be who He calls us to be! I'm ordering another Jim Burns book now! Thanks Jim!

Excellent resource for parents!
Wonderful advice on raising children who love God in this crazy world. Very real world. Excellent planning & goal setting tools.
Great insight
All too often we worry about teaching our children becoming bullies or arrogant or hard so we teach them to be passive, compliant, and perhaps whimpy. Confident Parenting is about showing parents how to raise their children to be confident, compassionate, strong human beings and it's about time! Very good book. Full of great insight and lessons we can take home and use.
