    Raising Children At Promise
    How the Surprising Gifts of Adversity and Relationship Build Character in Kids

    "A must-read for anyone who loves kids.  Tim and Mona Stuart’s immensely practical workbook will help you examine your assumptions about the children in your life, critically reflect on your own parenting, and lay the foundation for strong character growth in kids."
    --Michele Borba, Ed.D., author, Building Moral Intelligence and Don’t Give Me That Attitude!

    "Raising Children At Promise is a book for our day--a day when parents are often terrified to let children experience any form of adversity or disappointment.  This practical guide encourages us to help kids make the most of the natural adversity they experience so that they can learn from it."
    --Betsy Hart, author and nationally syndicated columnist with Scripps

    Raising Children At Promise is a practical resource and inspiring companion workbook to the revolutionary book Children At Promise, which replaced at-risk thinking with an at-promise strategy to help all kids succeed and overcome challenges in their lives through a trusting relationship with a caring adult.  Step by step, this workbook explains the AT PROMISE paradigm and offers stories, activities, self-assessments, prayer reflections, and answers to frequently asked questions, encouraging readers to understand and apply At Promise principles in their daily relationships with kids.  Most notably, an observation guide facilitates focused thinking and journaling about kids, giving parents and educators a tool for recognizing progress and knowing how to encourage children to live up to their potential.  Solidly grounded in tested educational and psychological theory as well as timeless biblical wisdom, Raising Children At Promise offers a groundbreaking approach to character growth in kids.
