All parents know the challenges against them can seem overwhelming.  While trying to raise thoughtful, considerate, innocent children, the popular culture seems to want to turn their children against them.  Schools sometimes seem less places of learning than bazaars where children are sold bad language and surly attitudes – or worse, drugs and sexually transmitted diseases.  A parent’s day is stressful and hectic enough without the worry that their children are being neglected. 

As a mother of three and a syndicated columnist who writes about family issues, Rebecca Hagelin knows the frustration moms and dads feel.  In 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family, she provides parents with 30 practical actions – concrete, doable steps you can implement one day at a time – to restore peace in your home and reconnect with your children.  Raising your children should be a joy, not an uphill battle that leaves you frustrated or in tears.  30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family is a parent-tested guide to help you succeed in the most important responsibility you have – raising happy, responsible, well-adjusted kids.

Rebecca Hagelin is a former Vice President and current Senior Communications Fellow for The Heritage Foundation, author of Home Invasion: Protecting Your Family in a Culture That’s Gone Stark Raving Mad, and frequent media analyst and cultural commentator on FOX, CNN, CBN, and other network and radio programs.  She also champions the pro-family message in speeches before parent, religious, and civil groups around the nation.
