Why is anxiety so rampant among kids today? What's the magic age for giving my child his first cell phone? Her first social media account? How do I teach my teenager things like gratitude and respect in such an entitled and disrespectful world? Melissa Trevathan and Sissy Goff hear these types of questions on a daily basis in their counseling offices and at parenting events across the country. Today, more than ever before, we live in a culture that is at war against our parenting. And today, more than ever before, we're meeting parents who feel lost as to how to help. This book does just that. It addresses the issues we hear parents struggling with the most when it comes to raising their children (technology, disrespect, entitlement, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, etc.), but it doesn't stop there. Melissa and Sissy move through those modern-day troubles to get back to the vintage values we all deeply value in the lives of kids. They help you discover--whether your child is a toddler or a teenager--what it looks like to cultivate kindness, gratitude, integrity, responsibility and more in the lives of the kids you love. Modern Parents, Vintage Values offers you a roadmap--a way through the hurdles you are facing today in your parenting--helping you discover more of how to instill those true, foundational, vintage values that will make a lasting difference in the lives of your kids...values that are built upon an unshakeable foundation of faith and hope. And that's ultimately where this map will lead--to Christ--and to what it looks like for both you and your kids to have hope in Him in these changing times.
