7 Traits of Effective Parenting
For the sentinel dad, 'hoping for the best' is not a strategy. To be a Durable Dad, you need an intentional framework. You need to know which character traits you are actually installing into the hearts of your children and which ones you are modeling in your own life. You need to move from a 'survival' mindset to a 'strategic' one. Our guest joins us remotely to give you that framework.
Dr. Daniel Huerta, is the Vice President of Parenting and Youth at Focus on the Family. Dr. Huerta is the author of 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, a book that takes decades of clinical experience and biblical wisdom and distills it into a tactical 'Operating System' for the home. He’s here to show us how these seven specific traits act as the 'Gears' that keep a family moving forward, even when the terrain gets rough.

Most of us wouldn't try to run a business, build a house, or manage a high stakes project without clear operate without a clear operating system. We want metrics, we want a blueprint, and we want to know that the gears are actually turning in the right direction.

Yet, when it comes to the most important leadership role that we will ever hold, which is being a father, many of us are just winging it. We react to the crisis of the day and we hope for the best.

And we wonder why the culture in our home feels chaotic. For the Sentinel, hoping for the best is not a strategy. To be a durable dad, you need an internal framework and an intentional framework. You need to know which character traits you are actually instilling in the hearts of your children and which ones you're modeling in your own life. You need to move from survival mindset to a strategic one. And my guest is joining us remotely to help us find that framework in just a moment. So don't go anywhere.
