Good parenting benefits parents. It’s not selfish to take steps to ensure your own well being. In fact, it’s good for the entire household!

Maintaining Sanity in Parenting [One Minute Feature]

Do you often feel like you’re pouring from an empty cup? Have you uttered the words “you drive me insane!” Parenting, though it directly benefits the child, can also be a positive experience for you.

Positive Parenting and the Sane Adult

There’s not enough said about the importance of parents having a positive child-rearing experience. Most often, our kids are the sole benefactors of parenting discussions. And, as preeminently important as it is, there’s still something to be said for keeping parents happy, healthy and sane also. If you’re so focused on keeping Junior happy that you lose your emotional balance, you’ll never be the parent God intended. A well-disciplined child is as therapeutic for parents as it is for Junior. And, it takes self-discipline to discipline our children well; but, the rewards are worth it for everyone. Certainly, there are times when it’s OK to you tell your child “no” for no other reason than your own well-being and peace of mind.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
