Singing in unison is when all voices sing the same note, at the same time, to emphasize the text. Similarly, families need to parent in unison to emphasize the message they want to send to their children.
Cecil Taylor uses his personal parenting experience, and those of the families he’s taught and ministered to over decades, to create unique foundational strategies for unison parenting within a Christian context. Learn how to stay on the same page throughout the trials of parenting, provide children with a solid faith foundation, and balance loving nature with firm boundaries to create a warm, stable environment where the child and parent can eventually collaborate to bring the child to full, responsible adulthood.
Whether in a traditional or nontraditional family structure, Unison Parenting leads parents through the ages and stages of childhood into mature adulthood. Additionally, Cecil lays out parenting fundamentals to manage your child’s growing need for independence during their teen years, while gradually building trust through incremental decision-making.
Book Excerpt
I’ll tell you, this is like the earlier candle/candy story; there is no greater teacher than letting them try and experience the consequences.
Now, if it’s the championship game, you might want to protect the child (and their coach) with a firm “not this time.” But in other cases, I say let them make the decision.
This situation also leads to exploring alternatives. For example, an alternative is to go to the sleepover but leave at 9 p.m. (“Aw, Dad, can you make it 10?”) You can offer to bring them home for a controlled finish to the day so they can prepare well for tomorrow.
You’ll be surprised at how much they remember how they felt when operating on inadequate sleep. In my parental experience, children will often make the more conservative decision in ensuing opportunities.
At this age, you can also start teaching them how to analyze a situation and weigh alternatives. A great example in our family was mobile phone ownership.
In my opinion, kids receive cell phones way too early. They are very expensive play toys that carry a lot of risk in various ways.
