Raise hopeful, grounded and action-oriented children in a time that feels full of uncertainty.
Kids and parents alike are feeling the weight of these troubling times. Anxiety disorders are on the rise in teens and children. “Climate anxiety” is a phrase entering our cultural lexicon.
Ancient practices of Christianity, both internal and external, can be a guidepost for parents navigating this uncharted territory. They give us a way to be grounded as well as provide a way of living with purpose in a time of urgency. The Hopeful Family is the guidebook for parents who are building a life of meaning and hope even in a time of unease. Readers will be reminded of the hope that is part of the Christian story and find both inspiration and evidence to step more fully into a framework of abundance and optimism.
“As a parent who is deeply connected to faith as well as the values of kindness, justice, and mercy, I often long for guidance on the journey toward parenting resilient, tolerant, and spiritually healthy children. Dress is a thoughtful conversation partner who has given us a great gift in The Hopeful Family, which is full of practical and actionable advice. The study questions in each chapter make it an incredibly practical resource for individual and group study. Thank you, Amelia, for creating a needed resource for such a time as this.”
