Nurturing Great Kids Devotional Review

The Nurturing Great Kids Devotional is a one-a-day reflection for parents. It contains 365 practical insights for moms and dads alike. It is written by Dan Seaborn. Dan is the Director of the Marriage and Family Network for the Association of Christian Counselors. He often speaks at Family and Marriage conferences.

I like the idea of having a short reflection to read each day. Above the reflection is a bible quote. After the reflection a “Parenting Principle” is stated. Then there are three questions or points for parents to ponder. Each one would probably take less than 5 minutes to read. The pondering…obviously a little longer.

Then reflections deal with subjects such as siblings, rules,listening, discipline. to name a few. Many of these were very practical ideas that would fit most family situations. A few I found to be a little too “preachy” and conservative for my taste. 

I would recommend this book to any parent wanting some short and easy to read reflections on how to build relationships with their children. The reflections nclude some words of wisdom on how to be a good role model for your children. They also include ways to build a stronger relationship with their kids and God.
