Ready for Responsibility : How to Equip Your Children for Work and Marriage

This book shows parents how to teach their children relational and personal management skills they will need to be good marriage partners, including personal responsibility, decision making, communication, and money management.

They''re growing up faster than you''d ever imagined. Before you know it, high school will be behind them. Will your children be ready for the complex choices and responsibilities that await them as adults? Parenting authority Dr. Bob Barnes believes the time to prepare children for successful public, personal, and private lives is now, while they''re at home. How? By giving them a "learners permit" : opportunities to develop the skills, experiences, and characters that will help them become good decision makers, good marriage-partners, and good communicators, employees, and money-managers -- and godly individuals whose Christian faith runs deep. In Ready for Responsibility, Dr. Barnes steers you beyond fearful and passive parenting styles to become a "training parent." Complete with practical questions and exercises, here''s how you can give your children one of your greatest gifts as a parent: the means to succeed in life.
