“Although it may not seem possible, parenting seems to get more and more challenging with every new generation. After 37 years in the ministry of secondary education I have witnessed this constantly evolving challenge! Thankfully, there are resources for parents to help navigate through the journey of raising children. Dr. Schroeder offers incredible insight into many of the most common challenges that parents encounter with their children. Dr. Schroeder’s wisdom comes from his vast experience in shaping the lives of not only his own sons but the lives of countless teenagers.

As one of his former students, I now look back with admiration and appreciation for having a teacher and coach who expected the best from his students and players. “Coach” Schroeder genuinely cared about students and ultimately had a powerful impact on my life and helped shape the way I look at my role in the lives of young people.

Through his book, “Simple Habits for Effective Parenting”, Dr. Schroeder offers guidance on many specific issues that parents face in raising their children. His presentation of effective methods within the realm of education is especially insightful. ”

“Dr. Schroeder’s newest work is a great follow up to his initial, “Simple Habits for Marital Happiness”. While many parenting books begin with the desired outcome and work backward toward attitude and behavior, he intentionally begins with the foundation for effective parenting established in the love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness of our God and builds from there.

As both a parent and grandparent I deeply appreciate his application that accommodates generational attention to principles that have life application. Assuming our own fallibilities, he encourages us to live the forgiven life as examples toward raising responsible decision makers offering practical examples for day-to-day parenting. The book is not crafted as a textbook but, through a series of lessons, as a reference manual to be consulted again and again for effective practices in order to ‘train up a child in the way that they should go’ through effective parenting. Generations will be blessed by this work.”
