Safe House

How Emotional Safety Is the Key to Raising Kids Who Live, Love, and Lead Well

By: Joshua Straub PhD, Mike Chamberlain

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don't need to do all the "right" things as a parent. Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety - more than any other factor - is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well. Learn how to use emotional safety as a foundation from which you parent - and make a cultural impact that could change the world!

In Safe House, Dr. Straub draws from his extensive research and personal experience to help you:

• Foster healthy identity and social development in children of any age
• Win the war without getting overwhelmed in the daily battles
• Discipline in a way that builds relationship
• Understand how the culture is affecting your child and what you can do about it
• Cultivate responsible, self-regulating behavior in your kids
• Establish an unshakeable sense of faith, morality, and values in your home
• Feel more confident and peaceful as a parent
• Find a greater perspective on parenting than what you might see on a daily basis

Safe House

Some of this was information I had already heard but told in a new way. Mostly it was a great reminder of what I should be doing and how I should be doing it to raise confident, healthy, safe children!

Heartfelt and inspiring

I really enjoyed the real life example that made this book easy to relate to. Thank you.

Great ideas, not so good narrator

The book has great ideas. Takes off in ch. 3. Don't give up on it too early. It's definitely inspiring for parents who want to be intentional about parenting.

Life Changing

This book has changed my life. It has helped me with my own story, my marriage, and my children. Words can’t express how thankful I am for the Straubs and their work. Thank you

Practical examples to use everyday

Strongly recommend, started to use a few practical skills with my children and their speaking with me increased over their concerns with friends and school. I truly feel more connected and my children as they continue to approach me more and more. This is a must-read to connect with your children at any age.
