nurture their children, empowering kids to successfully process the trauma of divorce
manage their households as they assume roles and tasks that may lie well outside their comfort zone
build a future they can enjoy, making choices about education, careers, finances, and relationships
The Frisbies’ constant travel and ongoing counseling ministry provide a rich reservoir of effective strategies and ideas. Moms and dads who parent alone will find confidence and hope from this manageable and optimistic approach.
Customer Reviews:
Great book, very thorough and full of good advice! January 6, 2009 I really enjoyed this book. I am two years post-divorce and have two little boys, and I found David and Lisa Frisbie's advice right on the mark. From giving encouragement to single parents to giving guidelines for dating and remarriage, this book really helped me feel better about my single status and more self-confident in my parenting abilities. Kudos to the Frisbies for their dedication to helping us single parents!
Clear, Practical Help for Single Parents! June 15, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is easy to read, clear and practical. Hugely helpful for single parents, I was surprised to find help for single dads here, not just for single moms. BOTH are included; both will find great help in these pages.
I've heard these authors twice now, at seminars in southern California. They're exactly the same in person: clear, down-to-earth, and practical. They're also funny --- a lot of the humor finds its way into the books.
GREAT book for single parents; really good stuff about raising your teens.

I Wish I'd Had This Twelve Years Ago... March 25, 2007 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
When my divorce was final 12 years ago, I was left to raise two sons. I felt hopeless and alone (although people reached out to me) and I certainly felt unable to raise two boys. My sons are teens now. "Raising Great Kids" has some of the wisest parenting insights I've found anywhere, for kids of any age but especially for parents of teens or pre-teens. Wow. I wish I'd had this book twelve years ago, but I'm glad I found it now.
