Help! I'm Ruining My Kids: A Gospel Guide for the Mom Who's Desperate for Change (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780310370253)

Are you worried that, despite your best efforts, you're messing up your kids? Help! I'm Ruining My Kids is your invitation to trade defeat and fear for hope and joy as you follow the biblical road map to becoming the mom you're meant to be.

We all desperately want to be good mothers who produce good humans, but our flaws and habits get in the way. We're reactive when we want to be intentional. We check out when we need to be engaged. And at the end of a long day, our minds are often flooded with thoughts of self-condemnation.

Author and mother Abbey Wedgeworth has been there too. But she has an important message to share with fellow moms: Nothing is beyond redemption--not you, not your experience of motherhood, and not your kids' experience of your imperfections.

In Help! I'm Ruining My Kids, Abbey invites you to journey with her toward a place where God's grace frees you from a guilty conscience, his compassion ministers to your past and present hardships, and his Spirit transforms you to look more like Jesus. With refreshing transparency, practical wisdom, and biblical encouragement, Abbey helps you to:

• Identify and accept your personal limits
• Develop realistic expectations for motherhood
• Discover how to fight against mom guilt and the shame that comes with it
• Create a comprehensive action plan for change
• Learn to parent well as a work in progress

The good news is we can change--with a few practical tools and a whole lot of God's grace.
