El. knyga: Parenting Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Getting It Right

AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?

This is a question every parent asks themselves at some point—or at multiple points—along the way.

You want to get it right. Andy and Sandra Stanley are here to help.

As parents of three grown children and cofounders of North Point Ministries, one of the largest church networks in the country, they are seasoned experts on faith and parenting. Together they have spent decades counseling families and mentoring moms and dads while leaning into mentors of their own.

In the six-session video study Parenting: Getting It Right, Andy and Sandra combine their experience and wisdom to help viewers identify and embrace their it—their win as parents. In an inviting and conversational approach that is both informative and accessible, the Stanleys discuss:

• The four stages of parenting
• How to parent with the end in mind
• An approach to discipline that strengthens relationships
• How to help your child develop a faith of their own

You don’t have to constantly wonder whether you’re getting it right as a parent. Start here and feel confident about raising children who will enjoy being together and with you even when they no longer have to be.

For parents there exists a question that is always hovering in the background. Are we doing it right? Then just when we feel like we may be doing it right in one season, the season changes. They outgrow their shoes and their beds and we wonder at times if maybe they're outgrowing us. Eventually hormones flip the script. The question that hovered in the background for the first eleven or twelve years is suddenly front and center. We no longer have the luxury of wondering if we're doing it right. There are daily reminders that more than likely we're not. Eventually our kids assure us we're doing it wrong because their best friend's parents are doing it right. And, of course, their best friends are assuring their parents they're doing it wrong as well.

So, are you doing it right?

It's a terrifying question. It's terrifying because while we all come equipped with a rearview mirror, we don't have a reverse. We can look back and see what we should have done differently, but we can't back up and do it differently. Our mistakes are a permanent part of our parenting stories. Worse, our mistakes are a permanent part of our children's childhoods!

In this six-session video study, Andy and Sandra Stanley will actually suggest an it… the it they're convinced makes all the difference. Because if you don't hit pause long enough to consider the direction in which you are parenting, you may wake up one day to the realization that you parented in the wrong direction. By wrong I mean, you parented in a direction you would not have chosen to parent had you stopped long enough to choose. The direction we choose, consciously or unconsciously, will in some way determine our children's destinations—emotionally, relationally, spiritually, as well as academically and professionally. You owe it to them to choose it ahead of time.

Parenting is complicated. You want to get it right. To do what you have to do to determine your it. And that's what this video study is about.
