Plugged-In Parenting. How to Raise Media-Savvy Kids with Love, Not War

13,99 $

Plugged-In Parenting comes at a time when parents find themselves between a rock and a hard place. They want to protect their children from the increasingly violent and sexualized content of movies, TV, the Internet, and music as well as cyberbullying and obsessive cell phone texting.

This book makes a powerful case for teaching kids media discernment, but doesnt stop there. It shows how to use teachable moments, evidence from research and pop culture, Scripture, questions, parental example, and a written family entertainment constitution to uphold biblical standards without damaging the parent-child relationship.

When Your Familys Lost a Loved One. Finding Hope Together

13,99 $

All families eventually face the loss of a loved one. When it happens, it can place great strain on a marriage, as well as on other relationships. Thats partly because we dont know what to do with our feelings and partly because every family member grieves in his or her own way. In this book, Nancy and David Guthrie explore the family dynamics involved when a loved one dies--and debunk some myths about family grief. Through their own experiences of losing two young children and interviews with those whove faced losing spouses and parents, they show how grief can actually pull a family closer together rather than tearing it apart.

It will help couples learn about each other, and themselves individually, as well as their relational skills and compatibility as a couple.
