by Gil Stieglitz (Author), Dana Stieglitz (Author), Jennifer Edwards (Editor)

Let's face it-parenting is hard!

Many parents would agree it's the hardest job they've ever had to do. But did you know there are specific reasons why some families do well, and others come unglued? Wise Parenting: Creating the Joy of Family offers six parenting essentials that successful, joy-filled families all seem to have.

• Relationship
• Respect
• Resources
• Rules
• Routines
• Responsibility

This is more than just another parenting book-this is a book of hope and a practical guide for success in some of the most difficult parenting areas. Readers will benefit from the ideas surrounding parenting in the early, formative years, as well as adolescents and teenagers.

Dr. Gil Stieglitz has worked with countless parents and teens involving family issues for over three decades. He noticed a pattern emerge between families who "did it right" and the absence of that pattern in families who came apart. He and his wife, Dr. Dana Stieglitz, put this pattern into practice while raising their three daughters. Today, they share an uncommon depth of relationship and joy with each of them. Now they pass this pattern to you so you can create a truly enjoyable family.

Includes illustrations, resources, sample consequences and words of reproof, original ideas, and personal stories of success and failure. This is a great resource for new and seasoned parents, grandparents, church or ministry leaders, family counselors, and pastors.
