Today's parents are constantly asking themselves, "Am I doing enough for my children? Do I have enough influence to make sure they turn out right?" Because we have bought into the myth that parents have less influence on their children than schools, media, government, or the church, many parents have relinquished their brief window of opportunity to make a difference. "Shaping the Next Generation" helps parents grasp God's vision for their children and design an intentional character-building strategy that really works. Parents discover effective ways to nurture and discipline children up to age twelve, learning how to balance instruction and correction in the discipline process. Charts, worksheets, sidebars, and appendices offer further resources for helping parents disciple their children and pass the faith on for generations to come.
