New Resource from Longtime Friend of MACSA: Raising Mature Kids

For many years, Robert Schickler, M.Ed. has been a valued friend of MACSA, encouraging Christian educators and families through his passion for biblical parenting and child development. We're pleased to share the release of his newest book:

Raising Mature Kids: Parenting Beyond Discipline to Raise Responsible, Emotionally Healthy Kids with Lasting Character

Parenting today comes with no shortage of challenges. Many parents find themselves caught in an exhausting cycle of correction, consequences, and conflict, wondering if they're truly helping their children grow or simply managing behavior.

In Raising Mature Kids, Bob offers a practical, hope-filled approach to parenting that moves beyond behavior management and toward lasting character formation. Drawing from years of experience, he equips parents to better understand their children's emotional, moral, and relational development while providing practical tools to help raise responsible, emotionally healthy children.

Readers will discover practical guidance for:

• Reducing daily power struggles and creating a healthier home environment.

• Building stronger parent-child relationships based on trust and respect.

• Helping children develop emotional self-control and personal responsibility.

• Responding to failure and misbehavior in ways that encourage growth rather than shame.

• Parenting with greater confidence, consistency, and hope.
  

Whether you're raising toddlers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this resource offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for one of life's greatest callings.

Bob has also shared that a companion group study guide has been completed and will be available soon, making this an excellent resource for churches, schools, parenting groups, and small group studies.

We're grateful for Bob's continued investment in Christian families and are pleased to recommend this new resource to our MACSA community.
