For the mom who has ever felt defeated or questioned whether she is enough as a mom, Renee Swope offers encouragement and practical insight on how to mother with confidence. With a desire to develop and nurture Godly characteristics within her own children, Renee shares what God taught her about her worth in His eyes and how she could apply that in her mothering. I love how she explains the deepest needs children have and provides practical tips on how to meet those needs. This book is a must read for any mom who needs the reminder that motherhood is a gift, and God has given us the tools to mother with confidence.

Do you ever doubt how you're doing as a parent? Do you find yourself constantly busy, maybe snapping at your kids, and wondering how other parents seem to get it right? A Confident Mom will help you find the gold in your children, and help you redirect so that you are present with them now, not missing all the little things that make a child so special. I am part of the launch team and was blessed to be able to read the ARC. I cannot wait to share this book with everyone! Our children learn by our example; we need to set the best example we can, in Christ, and look for the good in every situation. We won't get everything right all the time, and that's ok, because your kids need to see how we handle the rough days, how to forgive and ask for forgiveness, and move forward with better reactions and responses the next time. Let your children know they are not bad people, but sometimes make bad decisions. Don't address them in anger - wait for a little bit, pray, calm down, and then talk about what happened. LISTEN to them, don't spend your time thinking about what you want to say while they are talking. Make a chart that you can reference that has scripture to show the right ways to handle situations. Renee has really put a lot of heart and prayer into sharing how finding the gold in her children changed not only her life, but theirs too. Together, she and her husband found creative ways to guide their children that was both fun and life-changing. This book will truly change how you view not only your children and yourself, but will also provide insight that you will take into other relationships in your life as well.

This book is so powerful and will help you find confidence as a mom. There are three sections in this book. The author starts off with some valuable truths that help you to speak and live truth with your child. The author then has numerous chapters on values that your child needs in his/ her heart and life. And then in the third section the author reminds you of your strengths and worth as a mom. Each chapter provides valuable insights, personal stories, and is wrapped up with a heartfelt prayer. I gleaned so much insight out of this book and highlighted so many lines that spoke to me. I believe it will be a blessing to all moms (and dads too) that read it!
