Pregnancy & Parenthood

A guide to using the Enneagram for harmonious parent-child relationships

If you feel weary or overwhelmed with life as the parent or caregiver of a special-needs child, there is hope. Doctors' appointments, parent-teacher meetings, stressful moments at home and in social settings, along with countless other challenges, are part of life when you love a special-needs child. Each year, your child's needs grow and change, as does your need for strength, wisdom, and support. Some days, you may doubt that you have what it takes to fulfill your role-as a mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or friend-and be a champion for a precious child. Rest assured, you are not alone. In Champion for Charlie, Jen Forsthoff offers biblical insights into what it means to be a champion for your child. Through practical application of God's Word and personal, relatable stories, you'll learn how to better advocate for your child-and how to find the support you need. The truth is, some days the responsibility and challenges seem impossible. In this book, Jen invites you to rise up and find hope in the truth that God equips those whom He calls into this challenging and worthy role.
