These paperback books are versions of the GFI parent/discipleship programs, and are particularly designed for unchurched parents who are not familiar with the Bible. They are excellent for giving to friends as gifts when they ask about your parenting, but they are not a substitute for attending a parent/discipleship class.

Two Community-Based programs for all parents
On Becoming Childwise, The Series
Secular Parenting Program. (Through the Primary Years)
This is a 10 session* video based program for all diligent parents, providing clear strategies for parenting that have proven successful and effective worldwide, for more than four million households. It provides parents a clear pathway to influencing and raising emotionally balanced, intellectually assertive, and morally sensible children. It’s an essential guide for the adventurous primary school years.
Secular Parenting Program. (Through the Teen Years)
Looks at the many factors that make living with a teenager a delight, or a constant struggle and disappointment. It brings hope to families challenged by the pressure of living with a teen. Practical steps are offered to rebuild and maintain family harmony and a loving relationship that can last a lifetime. The course is a 12 session parent-teen education program designed primarily for parents of teens and pre-teens. This is not a video-based program as all sessions of On Becoming Teenwise have been designed to be presented in person. It can be adapted according to the needs of your participants.
