Nobody spends more time with our children outside of the home than you. You are on the front line and are often held responsible for the care of our children. Schools were designed to “educate” and parents were designed to “raise and train” children. However, more often than not, schools are being asked to assume what we believe only parents can do for their children.It’s time to re-balance the scales and shift the burden of care where it rightfully belongs… back to parents and caregivers. We recognize that many parents may not have the proper information, skills, or confidence to become the proactive participants required to raise healthy kids in today’s aggressive culture. That’s where we can help.

New apps, new games, new drugs, new “online” challenges.  Ever feel like it’s impossible to keep up with today’s ever-changing culture? As parents ourselves, we’ve been there. Our parent handbooks are designed to bridge the gap between the world you grew up in and the world your kids are growing up in today. The content will help you “keep up” so you can “speak up” and have meaningful conversations with your kiddos. Our free monthly webinars are designed to let you dig deeper on a particular issue and connect with a community of parents. We can do this. We’re the number one influence in the lives of our children.

Most Christian parents are shocked to learn that kids are beginning to experiment with drugs, alcohol, and sex as early as fourth and fifth grade. Very few are familiar with the apps and games their kids are accessing, and knowing how to parent through a cyberbullying or sexting issue is foreign territory. How does a parent detect early warning signs of a potential problem or apply their Christian faith to their parenting? And how can the church help these parents?

I have been a follower of Operation Parent for a while now and I have told so many people about your organization including my Step Up drug prevention coalition here in Anderson Twp, Ohio. I share your website on my communications and have put it on my list for my Tech person to be shared on my website. I would love to partner with you in any capacity and appreciate your work.

Handbook Patron
This organization offers a great deal of resources and information for educating parents of many of the potential dangers and issues our kids face in their world today. They offer advice on how to have necessary dialogue with our kids on various topics as well as provide resources for parents to gain knowledge about potential dangers, warning signs to look for, and the proper steps to take and resources to utilize should parents face an issue with their child. I appreciate all they have to offer!!!
