Raising Secure, Assertive Kids in a Tough World
Break the Cycle of “Nice” Parents Raising “Nice” —but Weak— Kids
With a little help, parents can raise assertive, confident, bully-proof children. While he shows parents how to avoid over-parenting and how to instill the virtues of toughness, wisdom, and courage, Paul Coughlin paints a clear picture of the real Jesus, not just the meek-and-mild side often presented to children. By shaping confident and virtuous children, parents are giving them the tools to live a happy and more abundant life.
Today‘s children are more worried and fearful than children of previous generations, and well-intended parents are raising some of the culture’s wimpiest kids. Overprotective mothers and fathers teach their kids to live passively; kids, in turn, become less and less able to make decisions, to strengthen their minds, and to cultivate courage–upon which, wrote C.S. Lewis, all other virtues depend.
Paul Coughlin, father of three school-age children, longtime youth soccer coach, calls parents to bring up sons and daughters who will live out the whole spectrum of the abundant life Jesus came to give us. These children will not only know right from wrong, they will also embrace the integrity and courage to do what‘s right.
Insightful and practical, Raising Bully-Proof Kids will challenge you to spark a change for good in your children.
