You’ll learn how to understand the deeper motivations behind your child’s actions and discover practical strategies for disciplining with grace and wisdom. Whether you ’ re a new parent or navigating the challenges of the teen years, this study will equip you with the tools and insights you need to parent with purpose and faith Registration includes a copy of Shepherding a Child’s Heart” by Dr. Tedd Tripp.
