You know you should be more than just housemates with your kids, but as their lives become as busy as yours, that feeling of belonging together can fade. How do you maintain close bonds with your kids? What can you do if you sense that your kids are pulling away in an unhealthy manner? And what can you, as a family, actually do together that will be more meaningful than staring at screens in the same room? With practical advice on how to deepen and expand your most important human connections, Ideas for Parents will lead you in ways to develop and nourish the spiritual appetite of your family. From rebuilding the heart connection with your child to giving the gift of your attention to learning the importance of saying 'I'm sorry,' here is wise counsel, quick tips, and a Christian perspective on how to deal with a host of parenting concerns.
