Through parenting, Dr. Ray learned to avoid labels and to respect each child’s temperament. He reinforces how with each child you can become a better parent.

You will learn, as he did, to be better able to stand strong in God’s grace and trust in His plan if your children have special needs. You will be moved by stories of children who were affected by serious health issues, substance abuse, and unstable foster-care placement. You will also learn:

• Why stronger parents, who act more and lecture less, have smoother family lives
• How “the look” is a form of classical conditioning that helps convey authority
• The power of affection to show your children your love
• To present a united front as parents and not be manipulated by your children
• How perseverance and consistency in setting and enforcing expectations pays off
• To resolve (and avoid) conflicts, teach respect and manners, and much more

Most strikingly, you will see God’s providence at work in forming your family. You will grow in resolve and wisdom to guide your children when young and give them wings to fly when older.
