Read by the authors.

Am I getting parenting right? Most parents, at any and every stage, find themselves asking this question.

Whether you're sleep deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its ups and downs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups and small victories. And no matter our family makeup or our children's personalities, many of us experience anxiety over our children's futures and often fear making a mistake.

Andy and Sandra Stanley are no strangers to this feeling. As parents of three grown children and cofounders of North Point Ministries, they are seasoned experts on faith and parenting. Together they have spent decades counseling countless families, mentoring others, and learning from mentors of their own, all while leading one of the largest churches in the country.

In Parenting: Getting It Right, Andy and Sandra combine their experience and wisdom into a guide that helps listeners understand and live by essential parenting principles. In an inviting, conversational approach that is both informative and accessible, the Stanleys help listeners understand the most important goal in parenting and learn the steps to pursue it by:

• Learning the four distinct stages of parenting
• Clarifying the primary goal of parenting and developing a parenting orientation around that goal
• Identifying and adapting their approach—not their rules—to their children's distinct personalities
• Deciding on their shortlist of non-negotiables and learning to stick to it

You don't have to constantly doubt if you're getting it right as a parent. Start here and feel confident about raising a healthy and happy family.

Amazing book on parenting!

Cannot recommend this book enough! I took copious amounts of notes while listening and will be revisiting over the next 20 years!

Average Title - Way Above Average Wisdom

For more than 15 years I have been learning from the Stanley’s in large and small group settings. This book is the accumulation of decades of real world experience and I am grateful for two things.
1. For the wisdom Andy and Sandra shared with my wife and I in various settings while we were raising our kids.
2. For Andy, Sandra and the team who put all of that wisdom into a book so that future generations will benefit. Hopefully my grandkids and their kids one day!

Really great insight and advice for parenting

Loved it. The first couple of chapters I thought there were a couple of things I wasn't sure if I thought sounded right but it got better and better as it went.

Love The Stanley’s!

Simple and effective information! I loved soaking up all of the wisdom these two shared!

Great for fostering direction for your family

Great content, fantastic material. Highly recommend! Love the dynamic between both the authors, their witty charm complements one another well, and makes for what felt like a very expeditious listen. Thanks guys!

The parenting book I’ve always needed!

Well, I can’t spend too long writing a review, so let me simply say this: as a pastor, and as a father, this book has opened up so much grace build space. I am recommending this book to all of my peers, and quite frankly, to the many families that attend our church. not only is this book practical, but it is full of heartfelt wisdom. I can’t recommended enough!!!

Relationship-no matter what

The book was clear on the message, inspiring stories with real life identifiable examples of what to do & not do. Convicting on some of my parenting methods. The information in this book has opened my heart & mind to know & understand Jesus better & increased my desire to be a better relational parent.
