Helping Your Child Thrive:

A Gospel-Based Guide for Parents

Do you have a child who:

  • argues with you about almost everything?
  • quarrels with his siblings?
  • acts as though her phone is an extension of her arm—and a divine right?
  • is addicted to video games?
  • has symptoms of ADHD?
  • sulks and withdraws?
  • often demonstrates anger?
  • whines repeatedly to get what he wants—a toy, a particular food, screen time, a phone? 
  • whines a lot about any assignment or direction you give?
  • cries easily?
  • complies with keeping the Sabbath but with obvious resistance?
  • is cutting or self-harming?
  • appears depressed or has suicidal thoughts?
  • becomes frustrated easily and often with situations and people?
  • is anxious about her performance at school?
  • is using alcohol or drugs?

OR

Do you see these behaviors in your children’s friends, and you wonder how to keep your children from following their examples? 

Are you aware that Utah has the highest rate of teen suicide in the United States, with an increase of 300% in the past nine years? (also the highest rate of increase in the United States)

Then you are in the great majority of parents, including those who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

  • You’ve taken them to church meetings every Sunday.
  • You’ve read scriptures in your home.
  • You’ve prayed, with them and for them.
  • You’ve held uncounted family home evenings
  • You’ve nagged them.
  • You’ve gotten angry.
  • You’ve taken them to seminary and prepared them for missions.

But the troublesome behavior(s) persists. Why? What can you do to help?

You’re finally in the right place to learn answers that actually work, and with dedicated parents the results can be dramatic and rapid. Over a period of decades we have thoroughly tested the application of gospel principles in a practical way that you can immediately and effectively apply to your children. You have never seen parenting taught in this way, and you will be surprised by how much power and fun is possible in parenting.
