Purpose
The purpose of Parenting with Peace is to empower families to develop strategies to strengthen parenting skills, bonds, and communication within the family.
Philosophy
Parenting with Peace is a ministry and business born out of years of both personal parenting struggles and being involved with hundreds of hurting children and their parents. Using biblical guidance, it is my belief that every parent has the ability to build a strong, connected family.
