N2  - In Growing Kids with Character, Hettie Brittz helps you identify your child's natural bent and how that affects your parenting journey. Hettie's famous tree metaphors show ways to let kids excel at being who they naturally are.

Discover how to use kids' God-given personalities to guide them on their spiritual journeys and firmly establish their identity and purpose in Christ. Find the joy of parenting by a child's natural bent and God's supernatural wisdom! --
