As much as we love our children, daily discipline problems can pile on top of each other until they stretch us to the breaking point. As one mom put it, "I love them to death, but some days I would like to knock them into the middle of next week!"
THERE IS HELP! THERE IS DISCIPLINE THAT WORKS.
You don't have to let parenting hassles ruin your day or destroy the harmony of your family. Dr. Bruce Narramore's best-selling Help! I'm a Parent gives you a kind of "owners manual" for solving and preventing most of the common children's misbehaviors.
The biblically and psychologically based principles of parenting in Help! I'm a Parent have sold over 200,000 copies and Dr. Narramore's seminars for parents have helped scores of thousands of other parents.
Help! I'm a Parent is filled with practical, step-by-step solutions to most of your parenting challenges. It also provides a road map for understanding and meeting your children's God-given spiritual and emotional needs so they won't turn to misbehaviors in the first place.
Help! I'm a Parent is a great book for young parents or for study groups and classes for parents. A workbook, The Help! I'm a Parent Handbook (sold separately) includes questions, summaries, and thought-provoking exercise that help you apply the solutions of Help! I'm a Parent to your own children's discipline needs and/or problems.
