In search of an ideal blueprint for raising their children, many Christians believe mistaken ideas about parenting, such as: God gives you children to make you happy, and fulfilled. You will always feel unconditional love for your children. Your success as a parent can be measured by your children's behavior. There is one "right" biblical model for family life. Good parenting will result in happy children. As a result of buying into these assumptions, many parents struggle under a burden of guilt, frustration, and fear.
