Better DaddyMomming by Design

Your head tumbles into your hands. Despair embraces you wet-blanket snug. If the enormity of solo parenting seems overwhelming to everyone around you, they should see it from where we stand. Feeling dwarfed by circumstance facing parenting alone is natural. The truth is, you’re not.

Success shows us the way

Parenting by Design offers a template for parenting based on the teachings of the one perfect parent. Regardless of your faith, Parenting by Design’s teachings apply equally well. When you see God as the one perfect parent, the Bible becomes an effective parenting tool.

Michelle and Chris Groff began Parenting by Design by personal necessity. They believed themselves to be great parents–right up to the moment trusted friends confronted them with news of their son’s substance abuse issue. Where had they gone wrong? What could they have done better? From those questions, and the difficult answers that followed, came Parenting by Design.

Consequences only increase with time.
Teach a child early when the consequences are small.

Our ability to choose comes from God. Embedded in every choice are consequences; good ones and bad ones. Seems pretty straight-forward stuff for (most) adults. Guiding our children to understand that discernment early will help them grow to make better choices yielding better results.

Parenting by Design gives you the tools to teach your children how to make effective choices for now and for the rest of their lives. It has made a long-lasting impact on my family. Visit their website to learn more. You can take a series of local classes, or learn online. Whichever you choose, I recommend it without reservation.
