Sissy GoffThe Worry-Free Parent: Living in Confidence So Your Kids Can Too (Parenting Girls & Parenting Boys and Living Free from Anxiety)

This book is such a good book for parents struggling with their own anxiety and offers strategies and reminders on parenting well. It is written from a Christian lens - but it’s not the main focus and if you’re not Christian - you will still benefit greatly from this book. This is one that I will be referencing again and again and again.

It gave me so much insight and how to better understand why I react so harshly to my children sometimes. Gave me great tools and really opened my eyes.

Recommend to all parents.

Can’t say enough good things about how this booking enlightened to me!

I am so thankful for Sissy’s book “The Worry-Free Parent”. As a parent who started counseling because of my fear that I am ruining my children this book has provided so much truth and also practical advice. I appreciate the research that is included about our brains. It gives so much context for why I think the way I do. Reading this, along side of my counseling sessions I have grown so much in my understanding of my thought processes and how to stop the spiral & also help ground myself when I feel triggered or I’m spiraling in my thoughts. I’ve already bought a copy for a friend because I know this book holds so much truth, practical advice and hope from Jesus!Thank you Sissy!

First, I’ve been listening to Sissy Golf for years. I trust her. She has never steered me wrong. Now that my daughter has gotten older, it’s been awhile since I’ve plugged into Sissy…until this new book. It is EXACTLY what I needed at this time in my life as I parent my 12 year old daughter. I LOVE this book. If you struggle with anxiety, you owe it to yourself and your child to read this book. It’s a game changer. Sissy is such an incredible resource. Now, for the non-Christian folk, you can still love this book too. While Sissy does refer to a scripture or two, you will not feel uncomfortable if you are not a believer. Soak her up. You will be so glad you did. I wish we still lived in Nashville so my kids could be at Daystar with Sissy and Dave. They are treasures. Buy this book. Now.

loved this book!! so helpful for parents struggling with anxiety.

I’m a big fan of Sissy Goff and knew I would be buying this book. I am so glad to have it in my collection. Reading the book feels like having Sissy sitting with you & talking about life. I highly recommend it for parents of kids of any age.

Thank you, Sissy, for labouring to write this book because you care about anxious parents who suffer day to day. What a providential and merciful gift of God to have authors like Sissy who loves God and cares about people and is so knowledgeable and also dedicated and willing to share her gift and knowledge.Sissy so clearly explains what anxiety is and how it affects a person and is perpetuated from a physiological and a cognitive perspective. Then she offers truly practical and to-the-point instructions on addressing them. And I so appreciate that her explanations are not void of the Triune God but full of instructions that honour God and help readers find rest in Him.I knew of Sissy's books on parenting for a couple years, but I finally realized that I, the Mom, am the one who needs to address my own real anxiety struggles, to the point of having physical (psychosomatic) symptoms. I bought this book by Sissy, both the audiobook and print version, as well as the companion workbook. All of them together have been such an invaluable resource to educate and help me, to bring me relief. Not a dollar was spent in vain. and it has been such a helpful resource to educate me.As Sissy recommends, I also agree, working with a trustworthy counsellor if your anxiety and struggles are too much to resolve on your own is a great idea. I personally would add that a trustworthy counsellor whose perspective and theological foundation you can respect and value is so helpful and important . A skilled counsellor listens well and truly speaks directly into a person's own specific area of struggle.Sissy's book has been a great primer for me to help me be more ready for counseling and a supplement working hand in hand with my counselling sessions. I highly recommend The Worry-Free Parent.
