Confident Parent Series

Show Notes

Presented by Ron Deal

Workshop Description: You’re trying your best. You’re striving to connect with the child God has placed in your life, but they keep stiff-arming you. And they won’t receive you as a parent. It’s frustrating and defeating! This workshop will help you understand what’s behind a statement like this from a child, and what you can do about it.

We trust that parents, out of due diligence, will consider a variety of perspectives to form their own beliefs about the cultural issues or challenges facing their family.
