Synopsis

As a freedom-over-formula parenting guide for parents of all ages, Child Proof provides biblical insight and encouragement for listeners who want to parent by faith. As an experienced counselor of children and families, and an adoptive and foster mom applying the Christian Counselling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) model of biblical change, Julie Lowe uses biblical Scripture and spiritual wisdom to teach parents how to know their children and specifically love them with the love of Jesus Christ. Every family is unique, which is why Child Proof explores the need for parents to cultivate personal and intimate care for their children as modeled in God's individual, personal, and fatherly care to his children. This parenting audiobook lays a foundation of parenting by faith and progresses by teaching Christian parents how they can know their own children well and parent accordingly. By discussing particular issues parents might have in family life, Lowe demonstrates how parenting formulas aren't the answer, and parenting with biblical wisdom is best for a proactive rather than reactive approach to raising children. Through Lowe's personal and professional experience, Christian parents as well as those helping parents pastors, counselors and counseling students, youth workers, and churches will discover gospel-centered application rather than formulas for the ideal family, equipping parents to be experts at knowing their own children so they can know biblical Scripture and live it out personally in their homes.

Goodreads review by Suzanne on December 24, 2021

Probably my favourite parenting read thus far. So often we go to parenting books to get specific answers to specific issues and scenarios hoping for a practical do-this-checklist-and-it’ll-all-work-out but we won’t ever get a completely satisfactory book to that end because children and families are......more

Goodreads review by Eleasa on March 29, 2022

This book sets the tone for CCEF's Biblical counselling approach, particularly to kids & teens. Julie uses Scripture, counselling experience, and personal experiences as a foster & adopting mom to offer insightful questions into what Christ-centred parenting can look like, rather than relying on "fo......more

Goodreads review by Allie on February 23, 2023

Great main principle—you need to get to know each kid individually and seek godly wisdom to parent them through reliance on God. A bit repetitive and the author does not give much practical help.......more

Goodreads review by Laura on May 06, 2019

At the heart of Julie Lowe’s Child Proof is a simple word of encouragement to Christian parents: “Instead of ‘how-tos’ and formulas, we rely on who God is in relationship to us.” Nothing tempts me as a parent more than the promise of a new set of rules. I am constantly tempted to place my hope in rul......more
