Kelsey McGinnis: The Myth of Good Christian Parenting
If you were raised in a James Dobson household or Babywise was handed to you when you became a parent, you’ve likely been influenced by the myth of Good Christian Parenting. Though it appears to ensure you will raise obedient, faithful children, this Christian Parenting Empire really operates out of control, behavior modification and performance - not only the part of the child, but on the parents’ success as well.
Kelsey Kramer McGinnis and Marissa Franks Burt aren’t here to replace one system of compliancy with another, but they do want to show you how false promises have betrayed an entire generation of evangelical families and how it’s influencing Christian society on a larger scale today.
