How to Reach Your Adult Child - Dr. Gary Chapman

Dr. Chapman urges parents of adult children to assess themselves first before putting blame on their adult child. These parents need to influence rather than try to control control and make requests rather than demands of their adult children. It’s critically important that parents maintain a relationship with their adult children, even when their child’s choices are heartbreaking.

I feel so encouraged by this book, Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life. It’s not just about raising kids- it’s about doing it God’s way. The scripture references are spot-on and really drive the points home. Highly recommend it to every parent

[RebeccaSalas]

I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using

I’m so happy I came across the video I could cry 🥺🥺 My child will be 23 in a few weeks and he just doesn’t care at all, he comes home with an attitude and won’t talk to us, he doesn’t help with house work or anything. I’ve been asking God for wisdom on how to navigate through this stage of life. I appreciate this message more than you’ll ever know!!! ❤❤❤

Thanks for this broadcast! This is one of the most helpful things I have ever heard.

I remember being frustrated with my daughter in her childhood who is now 30 with 3 kids. I was complaining about something she was doing when she was little. I heard the Lord speak to me in my spirit: "She's acting just like you." In my self-righteousness, I was shocked, but from there, whenever she was acting a certain way I remembered to look inward. When I worked through it with Holy Spirit the behavior in my daughter also changed. Now, with my 30 yo daughter and 22 yo son, I'm still trying not to make the mistakes I feel my mom made with me that pushed me away. Not feeling so confident in it. I've made HUGE mistakes! I'm so grateful for FOF and the topic of today's program. May God's Grace and Mercy continue with you. World of gratitude! Jesus'Name. Amen. Alleluia

I feel like I have always struggled with parenting my children (from them disrespecting me to completely not listening to me). It was absolute chaos until I found Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life. Since reading it, everything changed.

I actually really appreciate Jim Daly's ability to keep this a conversation, instead of a presentation. He has a lot of wisdom to share--why wouldn't we want to hear his voice on this, in addition to the guest?

Just finished reading ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ and it really opened my eyes to some new ways of guiding my kids in their faith. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to strenghten your family’s spiritual life

This is very helpful. I have an 18year old son who we are guiding on choosing the right career path. He loves the Lord, cooks and cleans, but is so secretive to his detriment.

Sometimes parenting feels overwhelming, but this book Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life reminds you that with God’s help, it’s not only possible- it’s rewarding. I’ve been so encouraged by every chapter

[veronicastyer]

Wish Jim Daily would have let Gary Chapman talk more.

[NicholasFarmen-tq]

The way this book, Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life is written makes it so engaging. I couldn’t put it down! It motivates you to take parenting seriously while also making you feel like you can succeed

[MarkAsberry-cl]

Whether your kids are toddlers or teenagers, this book, Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life has something for you. I’ve never seen such a comprehensive guide to Christian parenting before

[KelvinHardnett-wx]

Honestly, this book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ gave me the encouragement I needed to stay strong in raising my kids with Christian values, it’s comforting to know Im not alone on this journey

[vanessasingh]

This makes me feel better. I have failed my child but he is self sufficient as far as cleaning, cooking, laundry, money but he won't work. He has worked by not now. I'm at my wits end. He'll have to leave the nest until he figures it out.

I watched this broadcast to share with my 40 year old daughter because she is experiencing her 18 year old daughter refusing to talk to her at all, simply because my daughter voted for Trump. This is something happening in society that I have never seen before, so I don't know what to tell my daughter. This seems to be a new tactic of the enemy, but I do not even know where to start. I have tried to talk to my grand-daughter, but she just texts me back to say she doesn't have time at the moment to take a phone call or call back. My daughter is willing to talk with her and has explained why she voted that way. Would this book help a situation like that, or do you think counseling would help?

[Karlkeyz-ve]

What helped me the most with raising my children was the book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’. It is honestly a game changer

Im from Australia.
Who is the big bloke?
He never stops talking!!

Sometimes the estranged parent has been pushed out of a child’s life because of a bitter ex spouse. They’ve had no control over how they were allowed to interact with a dearly loved and missed child.

My daughter is completely off the rails at 36. She has a 6year old daughter. She has cheated on her husband with 3 men. Divorced a fine young man. Now seeing another man. When we try to tell her it is wrong she cuts us off. Her exhusband poor man is trying really hard to keep the 3 of them together. He still loves her. But she does not care at all. I feel so sad for her husband too. She does what she wants as his family and him dances to her tune. It is a sad situation. She does not want to listen to any good advise at 36 behaving like a 17 year old
