A Principal’s Principles for Parenting: A Catholic School Principal Counsels Parents to Help Them Save Their Kids in Today’s Turbulent Culture is a book that both educates Catholic parents so that they will develop a deeper understanding of their faith, and most importantly, inspires parents to help their children grow in their relationships with God while growing up in today’s increasingly godless and corrupt society.
What makes this book distinctive from other parenting books is the author, Dan Fitzpatrick, speaks to the subject from the eyes and mind of an educator who worked for 40 years in Catholic schools, with 34 of those years as a Catholic school principal in the Seattle Archdiocese. He has a unique knowledge of what children need and how Christian parents can best raise their kids.
Dan Fitzpatrick is a cradle Catholic who attended Catholic schools his entire life, earned a master’s in education at a Catholic university, and taught and administered for his entire educator career solely in Catholic schools. He was recognized throughout the Seattle Archdiocese for being a counter-cultural school principal who wasn’t afraid to swim against the tide in today’s immoral secular society.
As proof of this, Dan has the extraordinary experience of being forced out of his Catholic school principalship due to standing for his right to freedom of conscience. To model for parents how to stand firm during these times of living in a turbulent culture, in one of his chapters he writes about this event of choosing to not cave to outside pressure that would have caused him to go against his well-established conscience, even though by not caving it cost him his career.
Dan explains in A Principal’s Principles for Parenting that his fundamental educational objective throughout his career has been to raise faithful Catholic students so they would get to heaven, and that this goal can only be accomplished if the kids’ parents and educators learn positive parenting principles, acquire Catholic-foundational advice, and receive spiritual encouragement. Thus, this book is written in our era of rapid moral decay and a demonic-inspired destruction of family life to help save today’s elementary school and high school children who are confused, lost, and uncatechized – becoming prime candidates to join the cult of wokeness.
Today’s kids need the headship of and direction from Christian parents and teachers who stand firm and don’t kneel to the religion of godless secularism. A Principal’s Principles for Parentingwill inform and inspire these parents, as well as challenge Catholic educators to keep their schools authentically Catholic.
