Rebellious kids can keep parents in an on-going cycle of conflict. John and Danny discuss ways to break that cycle when a pre-teen or teenager is acting out.

Often, the problem is not what your child says, it’s his or her tone. John and Danny discuss ways to nip that creeping disrespect from your child in the bud.

Little kids learn early on what it takes to get Mom and Dad to jump on command. John and Danny discuss ways to calm a toddler who just won’t stop screaming.

John and Danny discuss how to stay in control as parents when a child is disobedient despite constant repetition, and it gets tempting to let anger boil over.

There’s helicopter parenting, free range parenting, tiger parenting, and even lawnmower parenting. John and Danny discuss how “mowing down” roadblocks for our kids as lawnmower parents can cause serious damage later on.

Strong-willed children must face the consequences of their actions, but John and Danny warn against breaking the will of the strong-willed child.

As parents, dealing day in and day out with our children can wear us out. John and Danny challenge parents to reach out for help and resources before complete exhaustion sets in.

Parents need discernment when it comes to some of the advice they’ll come across in raising their kids. John and Danny explain how the terrible advice of “never telling children no” can actually harm our kids.

We want our kids to be able to function well in society. That’s why we have to create boundaries for them when they’re young. John and Danny explain how to set boundaries by striking a balance of love and limits even if those boundaries are met with resistance.

Don’t settle for a response of “It’s not my fault” with your kids. Curb their bad habit of blaming others and making excuses.

Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend explain what healthy boundaries in marriage are, and offer practical advice for establishing those boundaries and re-establishing them if they’ve been broken.

When things get tough in a marriage and some change is required, we might not want to do it. But if we know that we ultimately have to deal with God, we submit to His higher calling to us.

Imagine if couples were willing to give up some of the good things in their marriage to let the better things thrive — and if they said goodbye to the activities that take resources from their relationship.

Dr. Henry Cloud explains how secular research on happiness points to the way God tells us to live in Scripture, and how maintaining certain life principles and priorities contribute to our sense of happiness.
