From Power Struggles to Peace at Home

What This Book Is About

► Who it’s for

This book is written for parents and caregivers who long for peace in their homes but often find themselves worn down by constant battles of will. If you’ve ever repeated yourself five times only to be ignored, or felt like you needed to raise your voice just to be heard, you’re not alone. How You Feed a Cat speaks directly to moms, dads, grandparents, and mentors who desire to guide children with calm authority rather than chaos or shouting. It’s for those who want to model respect, not just demand it, and who believe that parenting should reflect both strength and gentleness.

Whether you’re raising toddlers who test every boundary or teenagers who push against your authority, this book offers insight into the heart of the struggle. It doesn’t just highlight the problem, it equips you with a framework for raising teachable kids who respond out of willingness, not fear. If you’ve ever prayed for wisdom to lead your family with more grace, this book is for you.

► Why it matters now

Parenting in today’s world feels more exhausting than ever. Distractions are everywhere, social media paints unrealistic pictures, and cultural messages often chip away at a parent’s authority. The result is a cycle of power struggles that leaves both parents and children frustrated. This book comes at just the right time, showing you how to break that cycle. It’s not about demanding control, but about building a home where listening, respect, and obedience are cultivated naturally through love and clear guidance.

By applying these principles, you’ll rediscover joy in your role as a parent. Instead of wasting energy repeating commands or fighting resistance, you’ll have practical tools that invite cooperation and strengthen your child’s character. The sooner you step into this way of leading, the sooner your home can move from stress-filled to life-giving, which is exactly why this book matters now more than ever.

► What you’ll learn

Inside these pages, you’ll discover how to give directions that actually stick, how to train skills in ways your children can understand, and how to correct without crushing your child’s spirit. You’ll learn the difference between ineffective repetition and respectful correction, and how small adjustments in your tone, timing, and posture can open your child’s heart to receive guidance. Every lesson is grounded in both real-life parenting stories and biblical wisdom, making it as practical as it is inspiring.

But this book goes deeper than behavior management. It equips you to disciple hearts at home, nurturing humility, teachableness, and responsibility in your children. By the time you finish reading, you’ll not only know what to do, but you’ll feel confident in how to do it. And that shift can transform the daily rhythm of your family life, giving you a household where joy and respect grow side by side.
