DISCOVERING YOUR CHILD'S UNIQUE NEEDS
Counselor Julie Lowe explains that, because every child is unique, the use of parenting formulas won't deliver the results that moms and dads are seeking.
Many parents rely too much on parenting techniques guaranteeing “good children.” But these parents run the risk of not really knowing their children individually: their needs, strengths, weaknesses and struggles. Julie Lowe encourages parents to prayerfully consider what loving their children looks like today – using godly wisdom instead of formulas to guide their children through different seasons of life.
