Growing Kids God’s Way

GROWING KIDS GOD’S WAY (Along the Virtuous Way) 5.0 series is a comprehensive values-based parenting curriculum. In the title  the authors, Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo, place their emphasis on God's Way meaning  the way of the Lord. We serve an ethical God. Moral rightness flows from His being. His moral law is a reflection of His holy character (Psalm 19:7). More than that, He has shown man what is good and what is required of him (Micah  6:8). Growing Kids God’s Way can help any parent reach the heart of  children with virtues and values that flow from the character of God and do  it without stressing the child or the parents.

Preparation for Adolescence

The middle years, eight to twelve years of age, are perhaps the most significant attitude-forming period in the life of a child. It is during this time that the roots of moral character are established. From the foundation that is formed, healthy or not-so-healthy family relationships will be built. These are the years when patterns of behavior are firmly established patterns that will impact your parent-child relationship for decades to come. Rightly meeting the small challenges of the middle years significantly reduces the likelihood of big challenges in the teen years. In other words, the groundwork you lay during your child's middle years will forever impact your relationship even long after he or she is grown.

Reaching the Heart of Your Teen

Why do teens rebel? Is it due to hormones, a primal desire to stake out their own domain, or is it simply a natural and predictable process of growth? Reaching the Heart of Your Teen looks at the many factors that make living with a teenager either a blessing or a curse. It exposes the notions of secular myths and brings to light the proven how-to applications of building and maintaining healthy relationships with your teens. Whether you worry about your teen and dating or your teen and drugs, the principles of Reaching the Heart of Your Teen are appropriate and applicable for both extremes and everyone in between.

Reflections of Moral Innocence

REFLECTIONS OF MORAL INNOCENCE (Along the Innocent Way) is a study in the basics of human sexuality, especially the developing sexuality of our children. The Ezzos believe it is right to let children be children as long as they can, and believe it is wrong to rush children into adulthood through the medium of premature sexual knowledge. There is no faster way to rob a child of the innocence of childhood than inappropriate sex education. Children only get one childhood. What are you doing to protect it?

So we ask: What does God say about human sexuality and the sexual innocence of children? What does He say about purity and the role of parents in forming right attitudes in their children's minds and hearts about their own sexuality? This series discusses the practical how-to's of sex education and much more. By the end of this series you should have the confidence of knowing how, what, and when to communicate biological truth to your children with biblical values attached without fearing that you are giving your children too much or too little information.
