About this product
Product Information
Timothy Smith says it isn't enough to have kids who act nice and don't get into trouble. Instead, Christian kids need to be equipped to become influencers who can challenge and change their culture. He targets nine key qualities children need but often lack and shows you how to build them into your children by modeling core values and biblical practices.

Reviews
Tim Smith is one of America's finest and most refreshing parenting experts. This book will show you how to raise your kids to be responsible adults. It is a fresh approach and very practical., The strength of Smith's book is found in its ability to shift one's parental focus and values. Time Smith helps the reader move from the mindset of protecting or controlling one's children to the mindset of preparing them for maturity and responsibility., While reading this book, I was reminded of Jesus' question: 'What good will it be to gain the whole world and yet forfeit our souls?' As parents, it is so tempting to focus on our children's academic achievements, athletic awards, good looks and future career success. In the process, we often neglect opportunities to influence and shape their Christian character. Tim Smith challenges us to move beyond raising nice, wimpy children. We cannot afford to just give our children what they want or what we want them to have. Instead, to live as Christians our children are going to need traits such as courage, discernment, compassion, empathy and contentment. This book provides parents with practical steps to help our children develop these important qualities., There's a reason someone made up the saying 'Nice guys finish last.' The last thing you want to have happen is to raise kids that are easily influenced, intimidated, defenseless. . . . I invite you to pick up the cadence with one of America's great family coaches and learn better ways to raise kids who are ready for tomorrow. Nice kids? No. Strong, emotionally fit and morally good? Absolutely. You're going to enjoy The Danger of Raising Nice Kids., Tim Smith said it so well: 'Strong parents produce strong kids. Weak parents produce weak kids.' In the pages of this book, Tim will guide and encourage you to be 'strong parents.' Step up to the plate and the enjoy the responsibility and the privilege of being a parent., If you're looking for a parenting resource that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy, put this book down. But if you truly want your kids to grow up with the kind of godly character that will help them be people of integrity and strength, then start reading. Tim's words will challenge you and make you rethink your assumptions about what it means to be a parent. This book will not only change your ideas, it will change your family., Tim Smith shows parents why pulling the weeds of bad behavior isn't enough. We must also nurture the roots of a good heart. This book is filled with practical ways to fill our homes with grace and love, so our children will be able to face the world they live in., The strength of Smith?s book is found in its ability to shift one?s parental focus and values. Time Smith helps the reader move from the mindset of protecting or controlling one?s children to the mindset of preparing them for maturity and responsibility., There's a reason someone made up the saying 'Nice guysfinish last.'

I’ve been looking for affordable Eb clarinet for a while and was super excited when I stumbled upon this listing! The clarinet was exactly as described, shipped very fast, and was packaged well as to not harm the clarinet while shipping. It also came with a little screwdriver to help with repairs, which was probably in the listing but I didn’t notice it, so it was quite a pleasant surprise! 10/10 experience and I would definitely recommend buying from this seller!
