7 Habits of a Healthy Home: Preparing the Ground in Which Your Children Can Grow

Habits of a Healthy Home guides parents through seven of the most essential "family-habits" of a home that produces children of virtue and purpose. Their growth (and often outcome) depends on the ground in which they are planted. Parents are responsible to prepare the ground that allows and encourages their children to put down deep roots, to find adequate nourishment, and grow to their full potential. Written in a practical and up-beat style, this book helps parents practice habits to create a healthy environment to produce; well-rounded, spiritually sensitive, socially productive, and self-motivated children who will develop lasting values. Home should be a place of: 1. Refuge 2. Formation 3. Boundaries 4. Celebration 5. Connection 6. Legacy 7.
