Parenting with Words of Grace
At Covenant we seek to raise up a generation of young people who have a genuine love of learning, who love Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, and mind, and who can articulate the Christian message with clarity, creativity, and courage. That is impossible without parents, and having such robust goals means we cannot achieve them without God's blessing and work.
To refresh us as faithfully exhausted parents and remind us of God's love and care, Covenant's Upper School Dean, Mr. John Hayward, interviewed Dr. William P. Smith, a pastor, counselor, and former seminary professor. Dr. Smith has written a book called Parenting with Words of Grace which is the foundation of this conversation. If you want a sample of his thinking, he has blogs on the Gospel Coalition and Crossway websites that express his heart and wisdom.

Covenant's Upper School Dean, John Hayward, and Dr. Walt Mueller, founder and President of the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding (CPYU), discuss how to raise children to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ in today's youth culture.
CPYU is a non-profit organization serving schools, churches, and community organizations in their efforts to strengthen families. Visit cpyu.org for some very helpful parent resources.
