Resources
Let us Join You in Your Fight for Family
Parenting is serious business! We all want the best for our children. We know our actions as parents have significant implications for the lives of our children. So, we ask ourselves:
- Do we really know what we are doing? (We’ve never done this before!)
- Who can we trust to guide us in the different stages of our family journey?
- How do we win the battle for the hearts of our kids and not lose them to the world?
Over 10,000 parents see Crazy Cool Family as a trusted resource for those questions. Over the last twenty-five years, we have developed a set of resources to guide you in every stage of your family journey. From daily tips to comprehensive study guides, Crazy Cool Family has everything you need to inspire and equip you to be your best parent!
The strength of your family will be determined by the strength of your family relationships.

The Crazy Cool Family Bundle
With family we tend to focus on our issues:
- How do I keep my kids from fighting?
- How do I get my kids to do their homework?
- How do I keep from yelling at my kids (or my spouse)?
What if we could learn the fundamentals of parenting so we knew how to handle the issues before we faced them? That, friends, is the essence of Crazy Cool Family. We teach you how to have the proper framework and fundamentals in your mind and heart, so you know how to respond best to every parenting issue.
How do we do that? With our Crazy Cool Family book and our two related guides—Building Family Relationships and Creating Family Culture. Each guide session includes a four to seven video course as well!
