Parenting From Your Strengths Builds Families

When it comes to parenting, it’s better to be abnormal.

It’s true…because “normal” parents – the majority of parents today – have no plan for how they will raise their children.

It’s one thing to take childbirth classes and confer at length on paint colors for the nursery. But how much focused time do couples spend talking about the best way to raise a child socially, spiritually, and otherwise? According to popular research, not much at all.

Parenting from Your Strengths counters that trend by equipping parents with a plan and getting them on the same page, no matter where they’ve been before or how old their children are now. The authors present an easy four-step plan and individual personality tests that will begin to transform your God-given household in a way that encourages every family member. When you understand each person’s strengths and learn to value his or her differences, family life greatly improves.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your family or bring peace to family conflict, don’t just let your family survive … when you can thrive.

Parenting From Your Strengths:

Understanding Strengths and Valuing Differences in Your Home

Building a strong family is like tracking a successful course using a GPS (Global Positioning System) – but using a Global Parenting Plan (GPP) instead. The authors of the Leading from Your Strengths™ book series lays out a biblically-based plan that helps parents and children get on the same page, build more harmony, and head off potential conflicts. By drawing on global positioning imagery, parents can “triangulate” a family building plan with readings from three known positions:

• God’s unchanging Word

• Each parent’s unique strengths

• Each child’s unique strengths – and training up each child to his or her own unique bent

The book’s Global Parent Plan draws on some of the same tools and insights that have helped hundreds of ministry teams become closer and more connected – this time equipping families to understand each family member’s strengths, value each others’ strengths, and work to track a successful course in building a strong family.
