Raising Great Kids Workbook for Parents of Preschoolers: A Comprehensive Guide to Parenting with Grace and Truth Book

Excellent book on parenting. Very principled. Grace + truth / time = good parenting.

"Soft on the person, hard on the issue. What does this look like? Grace establishes and maintains the quality of the relationship. Truth adds direction for the growth and structure of a child's behavior and performance. Grace lets a child know she is loved. Truth guides her on what to do and become. Parents who do well integrate both."

"We are called to create and develop good relationships. We are here to bring God's offered love to the world. We protect, share, and grow this love by responsibility. Relationships is the reason for existence. Responsibility is the means to bring about and protect relationship."

Cloud enumerates attachment/connection, responsibility, reality, competence, morality, spiritual life.

I would read this book again.
