Parents seek to raise moral and godly children, but many don't know how. Parents and prospective parents often feel ill-equipped for the task of raising righteous children.

Gary Ezzo is not qualified to give feeding and babycare advice. He has been discredited over and over, and dropped by his publishser. He continues to publish these on his own. Look up Gary Ezzo on the internet for the critiques of this material. Don't do this to your baby!
