Raising an Original

You want to get this parenting ‘right.’ But with so many approaches and opinions out there, where do you even start?

The answer? The uniqueness of your child.

In raising eight kids over the last three decades, Julie Lyles Carr and her husband experienced plenty of parenting advice. But when they began to simply parent each of the kids according to their own unique needs and personality style, something wonderful happened.

In Raising an Original, Julie helps to redefine the primary purpose of parenting, this raising of the next generation. God has given each of our children specific gifts, abilities and capacities for specific purposes and He can equip parents to discover and support those powerful personality traits if they know where to look and how to respond.

So many kids launch into their adult lives without any sense of knowing who they are called to be or what their mission on earth is. What if parents, teachers, or mentors could help them discover the wondrous, unique threads woven within them that will enable them to see their part in the fabric of God’s universe?

Raising an Original will give you the tools for better communication with your kids, as well as how to uniquely guide and discipline each unique child.  With a helpful and detailed Personality Trait Assessment Tool included as a major part of the book, you’ll also come to understand yourself, your parenting style, and your child better. You’ll will also discover ways to improve your children’s communication with siblings groups and with you!

You’ll find freedom in discovering that God hasn’t asked you to raise perfect children; He’s asked you to uniquely raise purposed children.
