Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms

Discover simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that will help you find meaning beyond the chaos of family life as you create a home where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.

In Habits of the Household, Earley gives you the tools you need to create structure–from mealtimes to bedtimes–that free you to parent toddlers, kids, and teens with purpose. Learn how to:

Develop a bedtime liturgy to settle your little ones and ground them in God’s loveDiscover a new framework for discipline as discipleshipAcquire simple practices for more regular and meaningful family mealtimesOpen your eyes to the spirituality of parenting, seeing small moments as big opportunities for spiritual formationDevelop a custom age chart for your family to more intentionally plan your shared years under the same roof
