Author Arlene Pellicane (who has written numerous parenting books already, including this one she co-authored with Gary Chapman) enables parents to return to the intended leadership role in their homes by focusing on strategies for dealing with 8 cultural trends families are facing today:
- Social media and other addictive technology that provides kids with endless amusement, which erodes character
- The obedience reversal, where kids are in charge and parental obedience a thing of the past
- The absence of boundaries for kids today -- even the most free-range children need some routine and consistency in their lives
- The lack of discipleship in today's home -- in a world where everything gets farmed out to an "expert," this is one area where parents need to take more responsibility
- Marriages placed on the back burner when children arrive
- The disappearance of shared mealtimes, causing the health of the family to suffer
- The focus on "quality time" over quantity, when what children really need is to just have you present
- Babying children and aiming to be their friend, instead of parenting in a way to help launch them into autonomous adulthood
Each strategy has its own chapter and at 164 pages, this book is a quick, easy read that won't take up too much time -- a feature that probably every parent will appreciate!
In addition to the discussion group questions presented at the end of the book, each chapter concludes with three helpful ways to put what was read into practice: a reflective question for parents, a related prayer, and a practical action step to follow.
