Resumen del Editor

As parents, we want to safeguard our children from the pressures and influences of the world but also prepare them for age-appropriate realities. How do we find that balance? Jessica Smartt shares ways to be more aware, engaged, proactive, creative, and protective, but also adventurous with our kids.

Let Them Be Kids is Jessica’s offering of grace and confidence to moms, giving us practical ideas to meet the challenge. Her well-researched, tested methods, woven together with her personal stories and witty humor, deliver wisdom on tough topics, such as:

• Balancing family time vs. outside activities,
• The gift of being awkward and uncool,
• Managing technology,
• Protecting purity,
• Showing grace when kids disobey,
• And more.

Part story, part guidebook, every chapter includes doable strategies and encouragement for the journey, equipping moms with ways to provide a safe, healthy, Christ-centered upbringing for our children.

If you want to conquer fear and find the truth that transforms entire families, Let Them Be Kids shows us that it’s not only possible but essential to enjoy every special moment of building family values together. And it serves as a gentle reminder that, someday, we’ll be very glad that we did.

I read this book as part of a group with other mamas.
It was so refreshing and real. It helped us in areas where we were struggling as parents and gave us great tips. I highly recommend even if you think things are ok with your kids.

An excellent read on being a good human

I feel like I could have written this book—meaning, it resonated with me so much; even all the details! Great observations, stated well and simply regarding the preservation of the good old fashioned human, childhood, and family.

Timely reminders

Jessica taps into the simple things we all know our kids need, but can absolutely put to the side in the name of convenience or the slippery slope of parenting habits. I love the intertwining of faith at the end, because that’s what will take our kids well into their adulthood when we’re not their mommies and daddies anymore. Great stories, tips, and reminders of what our modern kids really need from us!

Insightful, helpful and informative 👍

This book was excellent. I am a mother of three small children and I felt like this was eye-opening and a great reminder! Definitely recommend 👌

Not a Mom Yet

However, this and the Bible will be my two manuals for parenting. Wow, the amount of great insight, funny stories, and encouragement are overwhelming. I feel like I need to reread it five times to soak it all in. I’ll be buying this as a baby shower gift moving forward, seriously!

must listen for all parents!

This was so great! I got so many great take aways and tips I plan to implement asap! Thank you so much for this fabulous book

Awesome

I loved the honesty and clarity that you used. The presence of faith is absolutely a positive for me and the chapter on sexual issues was needed. Thank you
