Parenting Made Simple

You can't program a child, but you can influence one — and that distinction changes everything about how you parent. This book is built on a counterintuitive insight from child development research: you have less control over who your child becomes than you think, and more influence over how they develop than you realize. The difference between control and influence is everything. You'll learn how to model the character you want to see rather than demanding it, how to raise resilient and capable kids, and how to do all of this without losing yourself in the process — while still working, managing relationships, and running on limited sleep. For Christian parents, this is parenting as stewardship. Your children are entrusted to you, not owned by you. This book helps you show up with intention, model Christ-like character daily, and trust God with the outcomes you can't control.
