"Families are crumbling under the stress, pace and demands of modern society. Our children are responding with disturbing behaviors—defiance, power struggles, bullying, anxiety, inattention, violent outbursts. Parents find themselves yelling more. Founder Kirk Martin will show you step-by-step how to stop these behaviors with practical, concrete, Scriptural strategies. We have zero interest in band-aids, tips and tricks. We will settle for nothing less than the complete transformation of parents and children. You will regain control of your home and classroom. Your children will be confident, respectful and responsible." For more information www.calmchristianparenting.com
