Summary

As parents, we want to safeguard our children from the pressures and influences of the world but also prepare them for age-appropriate realities. How do we find that balance? Jessica Smartt shares ways to be more aware, engaged, proactive, creative, and protective, but also adventurous with our kids.

Let Them Be Kids is Jessica’s offering of grace and confidence to moms, giving us practical ideas to meet the challenge. Her well-researched, tested methods, woven together with her personal stories and witty humor, deliver wisdom on tough topics, such as:

  • Balancing family time vs. outside activities,
  • The gift of being awkward and uncool,
  • Managing technology,
  • Protecting purity,
  • Showing grace when kids disobey,
  • And more.

Part story, part guidebook, every chapter includes doable strategies and encouragement for the journey, equipping moms with ways to provide a safe, healthy, Christ-centered upbringing for our children.

If you want to conquer fear and find the truth that transforms entire families, Let Them Be Kids shows us that it’s not only possible but essential to enjoy every special moment of building family values together. And it serves as a gentle reminder that, someday, we’ll be very glad that we did.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic book!

I loved this book - easy to listen too. I found it inspirational and encouraging. I have twins under 10 years old so many of the chapters were very relevant to our lives. This book inspired me to come back to connection with my children and validated many of my own thoughts along the way. defiantly a must read for anyone parenting children under 10 years old. There is an obvious Christian theme running throughout while some may or may not appreciate. Personally I found this very helpful. enjoy!
