Why don't kids come with a nice set of instructions? Have you ever felt alone when your todller has a meltdown, and your teenager rolls those eyes again?

We have all been there. Here are a few resources to take a look at that might shed some light on some of our darker moments.

Keep in mind too, that when you have just "had it", try shooting us an email.  Jim Haack, Pastor Keith, myself, and others here on staff have all wanted to pull out hair out at one point or another. Maybe a listening ear would be a good thing.

Here are a few helpfull links:

Focus on the Family
The christian "gold standard" when it comes to parenting resources. Literally thousands of books, videoes, magazines and resources to help you with your challenges as well as joys in parenting.

JC Parent Zone
A relatively new resource coming online in 2008 from Lutheran Hour Ministries. This site offers some uniquly Lutheran oriented christian resources.

God's blessings, and let us know how we can pray for you on your parenting journey.
