In the Beginning: A Christian Parent's Guide to Building Confidence in the Early Years - Paperback

by John Kaites (Author)

A heartening and supportive guide to raising authentically confident kids

In the Beginning provides Christian parents with faith-based encouragement and guidance for raising healthy, confident children from birth through age seven. In it, pastor and father John Kaites details how repetitive brain patterns formed between the ages of zero and seven can significantly influence how we approach things as adults, contributing to how we think through situations and solve problems. These patterns affect our ability to be resilient, resourceful, and effective in life and can inform who we become, how happy we are, and how confident we feel.

If we, as parents, better understand these foundational years, we can parent in a way that sets our children up for success. In the Beginning devotes a chapter to each year, walking parents through brain-development milestones at each age and what we can do to build our children's confidence. With John's patient guidance, we can help our children feel bolstered and happy, have a healthy sense of who they are, and become all God has created them to be.
