Some parenting books are written for the easy years. Powerful Parenting is written for the ones where you don’t know what else to try.
Kharis Publishing today released Powerful Parenting: Hope and Healing for Every Parent/Child Relationship by Marsha Grahek, whose work has centered on children who struggle with their behavior and their sense of worth — the ones others have often given up on.
The book is organized in three movements. A Time for Building covers Christ’s example in parenting, balancing rules with relationship, discipline techniques that are planned rather than reactionary, listening and communication, support systems, and making memories. A Time for Teaching addresses raising a child to love, to be honest, to respect people who are different, to understand money, to respect themselves and others, and to endure hard circumstances. A Time for Fighting goes where most books stop: the problem child, minimizing the damage of divorce, a child failing at school, physical and mental illness, and finally healing.
Throughout, the approach is concrete. Real stories rather than theory. Specific techniques — time-out, contracts, role-playing, paraphrasing, nonverbal cues — with clear guidance on when each one fits, because the right balance depends on the individual child.
“When a child feels safe, they take a chance on trusting you,” said Grahek. “That’s when change starts. Not before.”
The final chapters turn toward restoration, locating the deepest healing of children and families in an encounter with Jesus and a genuine commitment to forgive. The book closes with a prayer for one’s children.

- Parents of strong-willed, struggling, or hurting children
