DEDICATED TO HELPING PARENTS TRAIN UP THEIR CHILDREN IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO, SO WHEN THEY ARE OLD, THEY WON'T DEPART FROM IT.
MY
STORY
Hi! I'm Katie Ely. It was 27 years ago that I discovered I was pregnant with twin boys. I excitedly started reading every best-selling parenting book I could—and was shocked! I was appalled at what I felt was really bad advice. It was permissive, indulgent, and lacked instilling virtues. I remember thinking, “Wow. If parents follow this advice, we’re going to have a population of selfish, irresponsible, disrespectful people who have no self-control. (Did I nail it or what?)
It was then that I birthed the idea of writing a practical parenting book based on biblical principles. Since then, I’ve spent the past 26 years learning all I could about raising well-behaved children. I’ve collected knowledge from my experience as a teacher, researcher, and mom. As a teacher, I learned that training was the key to good behavior. As a researcher, I learned that training wires the brain so the behavior will be performed unconsciously or with very little effort. As a mom, I learned that training works!
My boys are all grown up now, and in my humble opinion, they have turned out awesome. They are kind, courteous, responsible, hard-working—and they love their mom!
My passion is to help Christian parents raise up a godly generation—a generation who is virtuous, loving, and follows the ways of God.
