description: As a freedom-over-formula parenting book for parents of all ages, Child Proof provides biblical insight and encouragement for readers who want to parent by faith. As an experienced counselor of children and families, and an adoptive and foster mom applying the Christian Counselling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) model of biblical change, Julie Lowe uses biblical Scripture and spiritual wisdom to teach parents how to know their children and specifically love them with the love of Jesus Christ. Every family is unique, which is why Child Proof explores the need for parents to cultivate personal and intimate care for their children as modeled in God's individual, personal, and fatherly care to his children. This parenting book lays a foundation of parenting by faith and progresses by teaching Christian parents how they can know their own children well and parent accordingly. By discussing particular issues parents might have in family life, Lowe demonstrates how parenting formulas aren't the answer, and parenting with biblical wisdom is best for a proactive rather than reactive approach to raising children.  Through Lowe's personal and professional experience, Christian parents as well as those helping parents pastors, counselors and counseling students, youth workers, and churches will discover gospel-centered application rather than formulas for the ideal family, equipping parents to be experts at knowing their own children so they can know biblical Scripture and live it out personally in their homes.
