Successful parenting is providing an environment in which a child feels loved and safe to become all God intended him to be. The emphasis in this approach is influence, not control.

You have succeeded as a parent when you have provided this environment for growth. What your child does with the opportunity is not your responsibility. Page xii Parenting With a Purpose.
