Setting Parents Free: How to give your kids what they need, and where to run when you drop the ball.

“How do we deal with this tantrum?”
“How do we get our kids to do what we say?”
“How do I help my child who’s always afraid?”
"What about my surly teen?"
“What can I do to help my child develop a relationship with God?”

For more than 30 years, parents have come to Dr. John Cox with questions like these. How do we parent well? And by the way, how do we also keep bath time from becoming another dumpster fire?
Welcome to Setting Parents Free.

In SPF, Dr. Cox condenses his years of work in the field of parenting (as well as raising a few kids of his own) and brings them to you in book form. Filled with solid wisdom and playful humor, Dr. Cox will guide you to the basic things that kids need to do life well, understand love, and follow God. (And we’ll throw in “do what you say when you say it” as a freebie!)

But wait! There’s more! What if we parents drop the ball; screw it all up? (Because you know we will, right?) Most parents live terrified of making mistakes and screwing up their kids. And that’s a terrible way to live!
It’s time to get free!

Not only will Setting Parents Free give you grounded parenting advice, Cox also surrounds the book with the grace that asks, “Could it still be OK to drop the ball as a parent?”
The answer: Absolutely, yes!
In fact, in SPF Cox will teach you how your mistakes in parenting might actually improve your relationship with your child.
It’s time to get free.
Free to know what you’re doing as a parent, and free to just be a regular ole human in the process!

Dr. John L. Cox is a clinical psychologist. In addition to maintaining an outpatient psychotherapy practice, he is a frequent speaker in the areas of marriage, parenting and relational growth, and the author of The One Story: A Psychologist Reaches for the Heart of God.
