Raising an Original

Raising an Original, by popular speaker and blogger Julie Lyles Carr, will help parents discover their children’s God-given gifts, find the distinctive temperament of each child, and help them set their child on the path of God’s purpose. With practical tools and assessments, readers will better understand themselves and their unique child.

Raising an Original redefines the primary purpose of Christian parenting. It is a shift from primarily focusing on the development of household rules and discipline, setting daily schedules in motion, or finding fulfillment by trying to live through ones kids, to parenting each child according to their own unique needs and personality style.

Author Julie Lyles Carr, a mother of eight children, believes God gives each child specific gifts and abilities for specific purposes. This insightful book will equip parents with the knowledge, inspiration, and practical tools to discover and support their childs powerful personality traits.

Readers of Raising an Original will be equipped to help their children:

Understand their unique strengths and the challenges associated with them
Discover their God-given gifts and how to use them for His glory
Succeed regardless of their circumstances

Raising an Original also includes a Personality Trait Assessment Tool so that readers can understand themselves, their parenting style, and their child better as they discover ways to improve their childrens communication within sibling groups and with parents themselves.
