Good Enough Parent

Christian parent, you love your child. You've read the books, tried the strategies, attended the conferences-and you still feel like you're failing. You're not alone.

Research on attachment theory shows that a parent who gets it right about 30 percent of the time can raise a secure, healthy child. Thirty percent. That's good news.

Good Enough Parent offers eighteen shame-free, biblically grounded tips that draw on the gospel, neuroscience, and attachment theory to help you become the parent your teen or tween needs. Not a perfect parent. A good enough one-a very different goal.

You'll discover:

• Why trying harder to be more like Jesus may be making things worse
• What your child is subconsciously asking every single day-and how your answer changes everything
• How the gospel speaks directly into the chaos of adolescence
• Why your own sense of being loved matters more to your parenting than any technique
• The two subconscious questions that your child is asking 24/7

Only God is the perfect parent. You were never meant to be. But you were meant to depend on Him. That changes everything.
