Most parents approach the task of raising children with their own agendas and histories. Plus, they’re bombarded with all kinds of advice, plans, and programs. They define their philosophies, develop household rules, set schedules in motion, and ultimately look to create little versions of themselves.
But, as many parents soon realize, one philosophy doesn’t always work for every child. Just ask mom of eight Julie Lyles Carr. As Julie discovered, God has given each child specific gifts, temperaments, abilities, and capacities for specific purposes, and it’s a parent’s job to help them flourish.
In Raising an Original, you will learn to help your children:
Understand their unique strengths and the challenges associated with themDiscover their God-given gifts and how to use them for His glorySucceed regardless of their circumstances
Raising an Original will provide you with tools for better communication with your children as well as insight into providing unique guidance and discipline for each child. With a helpful and detailed Personality Trait Assessment Tool included as a major part of the book, you will understand yourselves, your parenting style, and your child better.
And, ultimately, you’ll find freedom in discovering that God hasn’t asked you to raise perfect children; He’s asked you to raise children of purpose – children who know who they are, who they’re called to be, and their unique role in God’s kingdom.

This is a must read on parenting regardless of where you are in the journey! I first met Julie in our church nursery when we were nursing our babies. She has always been a marvel to me. She filmed the birth of her own twins, for crying out loud! She sat behind me in church one week, and she sings like an angel. I told the Lord when I get to heaven I want to have a voice like that.I absolutely loved her book. She is gifted in her way with words. She has spun a beautiful tapestry herself in her wise counsel on parenting, and in teaching others how to recognize the…
Excellent resource tool for parenting! Still reading (hard to find the time with 3 girls 2 and under!) but this is exactly what I was hoping to find. Help discerning what temperaments my girls have and how to “discipline” effectively according to those. Or as the author says, how to help my children focus….
