Based on your answers, you have unique strengths as a parent—and areas where small, intentional shifts can make a big difference.
Look back at your answers and count how many of each letter you chose most often:
Mostly A's
You lean toward Authoritative/ Intentional Parenting (Balanced & Purposeful)
You're parenting with purpose, balancing biblical truth with grace. You seek God's wisdom while nurturing your child's heart. This is the foundation of raising kids who love Jesus and live out their faith!
Mostly B's
You lean toward Authoritarian Parenting (Strict & Rule-Focused)
You value obedience and respect for God-given authority. While structure is biblical, remember that God parents us with both justice and mercy. Connection deepens obedience.
Mostly C's
You lean toward Permissive / Comfort-Focused Parenting (Loving but Loose)
Your heart is full of love and grace for your children. God also calls us to train and guide with boundaries. Adding biblical structure will help your child feel even more secure in who God created them to be.
Mostly D's
You're in Reactive/Survival Mode Parenting
You're in survival mode, and that's okay-God sees you. You're not failing; you're overwhelmed. There's hope, and there's a path forward to parenting with peace and purpose.
