Exclusive Parenting Q&A with Danny Huerta
Parenting has never been for the faint of heart. As many of us have experienced, new challenges always seemed to pop up out of nowhere. Just when it felt like we had mastered teaching our kids to dress themselves, suddenly they were pointing out our fashion faux pas!
The parenting landscape continued to change, and we are grateful to offer resources and guidance to help families stay prepared. Thanks to the faithful support of friends like you, parenting experts—including Focus on the Family’s own Dr. Danny Huerta—are able to share biblically rooted direction through podcasts, articles, and more.
In this special parenting Q&A video, Danny addresses common questions such as:
- “When is the best time to get a smartphone for my child?”
- “How can I help my non‑confrontational child learn honesty and overcome the fear of healthy conflict?”
Inside Look
As you probably know, parenting is not for the faint of heart. A parent myself, I’ve experienced new challenges that pop up unexpectedly out of nowhere. Didn’t I just finish teaching my children how to dress themselves? Now they want to tell me about my fashion faux pas!
The parenting landscape is always changing, but you can be prepared with access to our resources and parenting experts. Your ongoing support ensures that parenting experts like our own Dr. Danny Huerta can share direction and guidance, rooted in Scripture, through podcasts, articles, and more.
For example, I’m thrilled to provide you with the above video of parenting tips from Danny that we put together. I pray it blesses your family. Feel free to share it. You’ll find answers to questions like “When is the best time to get a smartphone for my child?” and “How can I help my non-confrontational child learn to be honest and overcome his fear of healthy conflict?”
Thank you again for all you do to come alongside parents and families with relevant and biblical resources. This ministry would not be possible without the faithfulness of sustaining supporters like you.
Gratefully,
Joy Harrison
Director, Sustainer Programs
