Author: Cecil Taylor

Genre: Parenting/Family, more specifically Christian Parenting

Release date: September 17, 2024

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

One thing that is important to start doing during this age window, especially upper elementary, is to let them in on your plan for incremental decision-making. There are a few points you can make clear to gain better buy-in and begin partnering together on decision-making. Here is a script, but you can modify it as you feel comfortable with your child and your family values in mind.

“We are growing your decision-making. We want you to start making decisions so you’re good at it when you get older.”
“However, we parents still retain the right to overrule your decision if we think it’s unsafe or unwise. We’ll explain to you why we’re saying no and will work on other choices with you.”
“As you get into middle school and high school, you’ll gradually make more and more decisions. Just think: When you start driving, you’ll make a lot of very important decisions while driving that can impact other drivers and people in your car. So we definitely want you to become a good, mature decision-maker.”

It’s good to remind them of this policy from time to time (yeah, they’ll forget it), continuing up until the time they are prepared to leave home.
