Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms

Simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that will help us find meaning beyond the chaos of family life as we create homes where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.

We long for tender moments with our children--but do we ever find ourselves too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something we really mean? Daily habits are powerful ways to shape the heart--but do we find ourselves giving in to screen time just to get through the day? We want to parent with purpose--but do we know how to start?

Justin Whitmel Earley understands the tension between how longing to parent and what daily life actually looks like. In Habits of the Household, Earley outlines the tools needed to create structure--from mealtimes to bedtimes--that free us to parent toddlers, kids, and teens with purpose. Learn how to:

• Develop a bedtime liturgy to settle your little ones and ground them in God's love
• Discover a new framework for discipline as discipleship
• Acquire simple practices for more regular and meaningful family mealtimes
• Open your eyes to the spirituality of parenting, seeing small moments as big opportunities for spiritual formation
• Develop a custom age chart for your family to more intentionally plan your shared years under the same roof

Each chapter in Habits of the Household ends with practical patterns, prayers, or liturgies that families can put into practice right away. As we create liberating rhythms around our everyday routines, we will find that our families have a greater sense of peace and purpose as our homes become a place where, above all, we learn how to love.
