Confident Parenting - "CONFIDENT PARENTING TODAY had its beginnings in conversations with the thousands of parents across the country who came to seminars led by Children and Family Life Specialist Richard Patterson, Jr. These parents had many questions--some felt intimidated by the challenges they faced and had lost the confidence they needed to act decisively as parents on behalf of their children. There were other parents, however, who had, through hard work, prayer and experience, learned how to be confident, successful parents. Passing their wisdom to the many parents who needed and wanted it became the genesis of CONFIDENT PARENTING TODAY."
