Parenting is one of the most significant and rewarding callings we can undertake, yet it can be one of the most challenging. At The PARENT Principles, our mission is to empower Christian parents and guardians to thrive as people so they can thrive as parents by focusing on six core principles encapsulated in the acronym PARENT.

Finding time to reflect and develop our relationship with God can sometimes be a real challenge for parents. Although essential in so many ways, maintaining consistency and developing intimacy can feel overwhelming. I remember feeling paralysed by the sheer volume of things I thought I needed to pray about. Praying for myself often fell off the bottom of the list. As a result, I found myself running close to empty, which made it hard to parent well or create the peaceful, Christ-centred home I longed for. ​
​
