Most parents want what is best for their children, and the challenges that come against us can become overwhelming at times. As a homeschooling parent, we want influences on our children from others who hold the same world views as us – not from marketing campaigns and other negatives that shape who they become.  But, we live in a culture that can make this challenging. 

The process of raising our children can become frustrating at times especially in this generation where texting, internet and other social networking can take place that far extends the typical peer pressure of days gone by.  But, the process of raising our children should be one filled with joy, not a constant fight that leaves the parent and the children frustrated, angry or in tears.

There is a new book available to help. It’s called 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family! It’s especially helpful for parents of children ages 6-18, but it’s never too late to restore a broken relationship with your children. This is a new day, and God’s mercies are brand new again. Each new morning gives us the potential of joy.

The Heritage Foundation and How to Save Your Family websites describe the book like this:

Featuring a foreword by Sean Hannity, personal stories from Rebecca, as well as anecdotes from other parents, 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family offers common sense advice to help parents tackle everyday dilemmas.

 This book is helpful for every parent. It lays out thirty practical steps you can put into practice in your home one day at a time. The end result will be peace and a connection or reconnection with your children.

Some of the things you will learn in the book are:

* How (and why) to write a letter to your child

• She talks about the joy in parenting.
• She describes a Jewish blessing to implement even in Christian households and to pray over your children to teach your children everyday that they have God-given value.
  Bless your child everyday with a loving, meaningful touch
  ….with warm, spoken words of love
  ….by painting a vision for them of a very bright future
  With an undying commitment to them as a person, that you’re always there for them
• As the family goes, so goes the nation.
