Let’s face it—parenting is hard!

In fact, many parents agree it’s the hardest job they’ve ever had to do. Did you know there are specific reasons why some families do well and others come unglued? Wise Parenting: Creating the Joy of Family offers parents in all stages of parenthood the six essential ingredients that successful and joy-filled families all seem to have. This is more than just another parenting book—this is a book of hope, as well as a practical guide for success in some of the most difficult parenting areas.

For over three decades, Dr. Gil Stieglitz has worked with countless parents and teens involving family issues. He began to see a pattern emerge between families who “did it right” and the absence of that pattern in families who came apart. He, along with his wife, Dana Stieglitz, put this pattern into practice while raising their three daughters. Today, they share an uncommon depth of relationship and joy with each of them. Now they are passing this pattern on to you, so you can create a truly enjoyable family.

More from Dana and Gil

I can remember thirty years ago, when my wife and I had our first child, we picked up a mentor couple who was there to guide us through the first few years of the parenting process. Their guidance and support made all the difference in our parenting, helping us to be more confident in loving, directing, and guiding our baby daughter.

 

As our other two girls were born, we went to more parenting workshops and gathered more mentor couples. We also read, studied, and devoured all that the Scriptures had to say about the parenting process, especially the book of Proverbs. Another time, when my sister thought I was being too strict with the girls, she recommended a wonderful book that was helpful to us. All the different advice these mentors gave us and the various resources they offered were invaluable. We would have been lost without their help, not knowing what to do in so many situations. It really does take a village to raise kids wisely.

 

I am confident that God will guide every parent if they are looking for His wisdom. I am hopeful that my collection of all the wisdom we received over the years, and the scriptural underpinnings, will help you in the stretching, delightful, marathon-process of parenting your children. We truly did have a great time. Our kids were not easy but they were wonderful. And just so you know, we actually did have a staff meeting every week to talk through the six key R’s to try and stay ahead of our kids. I hope that this book acts like a gentle encourager on your parenting journey.

My Thoughts

I have 4 children. They are 22, 19, 9 and 7. The older two are girls, the bottom two are boys. I like to describe parenting as: Being pecked to death by chickens. I feel that my 4 children are all vastly different. I was never one to read parenting books. However, I also did not think that I would be divorced from my boys father and remarried and all the chaos that goes along with that. This book came along at the right time. This book gives great foundations and approaches to parenting. One of the big things they focus on is the 6 "R's" Relationship, Respect, Resources, Rules, Routine, and Responsibility. I feel like the part that got me the most, was when my 7 year old (who has some sensory issues) and I battled all night. Once I got him into bed - I sat down to read this book. One of the questions that the author's ask is: Relationship: Is love flowing between us and all the children. This part was what I call a God 2x4. Where God has clearly been trying to tell me something - and I don't seem to get it.... until I am smacked in the face about this. I sat there and asked myself. Does my 7 year old know that I love him so much. It was at this moment, I got up, went into his bedroom and told him how much I loved him. I told him while I understood he was very overwhelmed (School had just started back and it's hard after being out for 6 months) that I was going to help him navigate. He gave me the biggest hug. This book breaks down the parenting fundamentals and backs it up with God's truth. It is perfect for ALL ages of parenting. 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging program - all thoughts are my own.
