  Meet Me In The Middle

  $13.99

  You can have an open and trusting relationship with your teenager. Mother-and-daughter team Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney write in alternating chapters to you and your middle school/early high school daughter in this unique, interaction-prompting book that will help you grow in connection, communication, and faith.

  Some conversations between parent and child don’t happen until a crisis forces them to occur. At that point, defenses go up, lines are drawn, feelings are hurt, and solutions seem out of reach. But what if those conversations happened before a crisis? This book helps make that happen. As leaders at one of the country’s largest churches, Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney not only have professional backgrounds working with young people, they have walked this path together. In Meet Me in the Middle, they draw on their experience to help you:

  *Use eight planned opportunities to have comfortable discussions with your daughter about the topics you care about most

  *Learn natural ways to communicate your faith

  *Hear firsthand what your daughter is most stressed about

  *Help your daughter navigate fear and anxiety

  *Approach the tricky subjects of friends, boys, and dating

  Discussion questions, Scripture, activity ideas, and outing suggestions in Meet Me in the Middle help pave the way to a strong, trusting relationship. As you and your daughter step toward one another, you’ll explore how you both can:

  *Grow in faith as you find your identity and self-worth in Christ
  *Avoid the comparison trap
  *Nurture healthy relationships
  *Keep communication open

  Meet Me in the Middle guides you to a loving, trusting relationship with your tween or teen daughter as you grow closer, seek out God together, and enjoy each other along the way.

  Parenting : Getting It Right

  $27.99

  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 readers understand and live by essential parenting principles. In an inviting, conversational approach that is both informative and accessible, the Stanleys help readers 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.

  Parenting Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)

  $21.99

  For parents there exists a question that is always hovering in the background. Are we doing it right? Then just when we feel like we may be doing it right in one season, the season changes. They outgrow their shoes and their beds and we wonder at times if maybe they’re outgrowing us. Eventually hormones flip the script. The question that hovered in the background for the first eleven or twelve years is suddenly front and center. We no longer have the luxury of wondering if we’re doing it right. There are daily reminders that more than likely we’re not. Eventually our kids assure us we’re doing it wrong because their best friend’s parents are doing it right. And, of course, their best friends are assuring their parents they’re doing it wrong as well.

  So, are you doing it right?

  It’s a terrifying question. It’s terrifying because while we all come equipped with a rearview mirror, we don’t have a reverse. We can look back and see what we should have done differently, but we can’t back up and do it differently. Our mistakes are a permanent part of our parenting stories. Worse, our mistakes are a permanent part of our children’s childhoods!

  In this six-session video study, Andy and Sandra Stanley will actually suggest an it… the it they’re convinced makes all the difference. Because if you don’t hit pause long enough to consider the direction in which you are parenting, you may wake up one day to the realization that you parented in the wrong direction. By wrong I mean, you parented in a direction you would not have chosen to parent had you stopped long enough to choose. The direction we choose, consciously or unconsciously, will in some way determine our children’s destinations–emotionally, relationally, spiritually, as well as academically and professionally. You owe it to them to choose it ahead of time.

  Parenting is complicated. You want to get it right. To do what you have to do to determine your it. And that’s what this video study is about.
