__You Can Connect With Your Child's Heart Through Discipline__ Parents want to raise respectful, responsible, and faith-filled kids. But when kids misbehave, parents often feel lost and confused, and don't realize that their discipline can make things worse in the long run.   
  
Jim and Lynne Jackson, founders of Connected Families, teach four powerful principles for discipline that shape both behavior and your kids' hearts. You'll learn to communicate--even when your kids are at their worst--that they are __safe__ with you, __loved__ no matter what, __capable__ of wise choices, and __responsible__ to make right the things they've made wrong. As you impart these messages, you'll create strong relationships, build lasting wisdom and character, and bring God's grace to life in your home!  
  
"Parents have no joy and carry no burden like the well-being of their children. The Jacksons seek to place wisdom, love, and grace at the core of the family."--__John Ortberg__, senior pastor, Menlo Church; author, All the Places to Go   
"This book is filled with real-life, practical advice that will transform the way you discipline your kids. I highly recommend it!"--__Kristen Welch__, bestselling author, Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World

__Jim and Lynne Jackson__ (www.connectedfamilies.org) have conducted over 1,300 workshops for parents and privately coached more than 1,000 parents since the early 1990s. They are media spokespeople for a variety of parenting issues, frequently speaking at churches and parenting conferences. The Jacksons have three children and live in Minnesota.

__A Powerful Approach to Bringing God's Grace to Kids__ Did you know that the way we deal (or don't deal) with our kids' misbehavior shapes their beliefs about themselves, the world, and God? Therefore it's vital to connect with their hearts--not just their minds--amid the daily behavior battles.  
  
With warmth and grace, Jim and Lynne Jackson, founders of Connected Families, offer four tried-and-true keys to handling any behavioral issues with love, truth, and authority. You will learn practical ways to communicate messages of grace and truth, how to discipline in a way that motivates your child, and how to keep your relationship strong, not antagonistic. Discipline is more than just a short-term attempt to modify your child's actions--it's a long-term investment to help them build faith, wisdom, and character for life. When you discover a better path to discipline, you'll find a more well-behaved--and well-believed--kid.
