About this ebook
How can parents train their children? The basic and positive life lessons to develop good character traits in your child are planted in the younger years? In Kid Help, Parents Taking Control, parents are given examples on how to lay the ground work, and plant the basics needed.
A few of these qualities include how to teach obedience, respect for you and those in authority, learning how to make good decisions, and so much more. Children need a structured environment and laying the groundwork early for them to learn is central.
This e-book offers some good old–fashion parent advice that will guide unknowledgeable parents in ways to teach their children many important values. Positive principles produce self confidence in a child and the ability to make some very important right choices in the future. That’s why early training is so very important.

(Parents Taking Control)
Introduction
You don’t want your child to be untrained in life’s basic principles as he or she matures to adulthood.
As parents, training your child to know the nuts and bolts of living and thriving in this world is unquestionably necessary. All children need to know how to make wise choices, which are based on sound values that stand the test of time. These basic values will provide them common-sense wisdom when major or minor life decisions need to be made. Poor decisions could possibly ruin your child’s life.
These practical applications from Kid Help (Parents Taking Control) will guide you in teaching self-discipline, self-control, integrity, and other crucial character traits. These disciplines will produce a confident child–one who walks in godly character – and who will eventually be able to thrive, prosper, grow, and learn in almost any environment. I believe that is what all parents want for their children.
With these affirming principles from experienced partners, it is my intention to provide you with a panoramic view of how you will benefit in the years to come with a less chaotic life. This training will sustain you during the developmental years of your child’s growth and will provide you with peace of mind. You will know that you are preparing your son or daughter for a mature adult life and arming him or her with the basic wisdom needed to make the right choices while fulfilling God’s plan for his or her life.
Parenting is not one-size-fits-all. Every child has individual quirks, abilities, and character. We all have our own special DNA and God-given temperaments; this is true of this precious child you will be-or already are-raising.
Take what will work, use the ideas as stepping-stones for your unique child’s development, and overlook the rest.

Kids Change Your Life
All parents (and caregivers) know that this special life entrusted to them–which may not always arrive by natural birth – has completely changed their lives.
Seeing the helplessness of this needful child can only make you want to love her and be available for her every need. There is a sense of awe that God has entrusted you with the responsibility for this unique life. I hope you receive your child with this in mind.
All too soon, you experience the wail and cry of your baby's demands, which will take up most of your time. Babies are concerned only about self; their survival is dependent upon this self-demanding nature.
Accordingly, as they grow to recognize the world has priorities other than them, they have to be taught to share their toys, to be nice, and not to hit others. They want their own way and sometimes refuse to follow your rules. Even a young child, without realizing how it works, knows how to get his own way. Children throw tantrums, hold their breath, are stubborn, whine, and pose other challenges in order to see who will be in control.
These defining times are very important for moms and dads. Parents–not the child–have an understanding of life situations and are meant to be in control. How does a parent take charge and still lovingly lead a child to become responsible and obedient? In the following pages, we will share training tips and other guidance tools designed to meet this challenge.

No Small Task
Your child is more important than any project you’ve ever accomplished, any longed-for award, or any high status you might be striving to achieve, because you determine your child’s future outcome; no small task that God has assigned to you!
Your job is not to raise this child to
