From the authors of the New York Best-selling book The Love Dare, we are now introduced to yet another thrilling journey, namely The Love Dare for Parents, that can pave the way to the true main purpose of life – Getting as close as possible to other people, understanding, accepting and loving who they truly are through Christ-like kind of care.
This book literally guides even the busiest parents towards a conscious reflection of the behavior they impose on their children on a daily basis and the different kind of impact every little action has. Through the daily challenges of this book, Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick are urging the parents to focus their attention towards their children in the most loving and caring way possible, avoiding the unnecessary quarrels and passive-aggressive, utterly futile battles.
The biblical principle this book seeks to implement in the daily routine of the families centers around techniques that have a long-term positive effect on the parent-child relationship. As everything else in life, patience and love require practice and a lot of communication. The 40-day challenge, reveals a different key verse for every day, and the principles rest upon the guidelines written in the Scripture.
Practicing Christ-like love with young children and also teenagers can help strengthen their self-esteem , make them truly feel loved and secure, not only through words, but also by showing an example through action. This book is the ultimate positive reinforcement that every parent and child out there needs. The busy lives we live today leave little to no time for making deep connection with the other family members and we all get fooled that living together physically accounts for closeness. Love Dare for Parents strongly opposes this view and wisely seeks to reunite parents with their children on a spiritual level and teach them how to properly reach out to each other, always having in mind what the other person might be going through, rather than focusing on our selfish needs.
Many parents that have accepted and completed the challenge of this terrific book, report that it has changed them, made them think twice before they react and made them consider the consequences of their reactions and how everything is connected, every single event can be modified towards a more pleasing experience if the participants in the conversation decide to think outside their own ego box and for a moment walk in the shoes of the person standing in front of them.
