Benefits of Focus on the Family's Parenting Compass |
With this assessment, Family Action Plan and resources, you can focus on those few things that will make the most difference in the lives of your children.
Why does it work?
Focus on the Family’s Parenting Compass works because it:
- is based on solid research with more than 2.5 million teenagers showing what’s important for successful development.
- reflects biblical wisdom.
- is based on common-sense approaches that aren’t all that common anymore.
- works at building positive habits rather than in just giving advice you’ll soon forget.
- is measurable: You’ll be able to see and measure the difference in your family over time.

Why is Parenting Compass so important?
Why is this assessment so important? When children become preteen/teenagers, it’s easy to check out. Either you think “we’ve done all we can” or “it’s too late to make any difference.” Parents and kids get busy, preteen/teenagers become more independent, turning more to friends for advice and support. We also get (false) messages that parents are no longer important during adolescence and, besides, it’s “normal” for kids to get into lots of trouble. So we end up assuming everything is okay—until something really bad happens.
The Focus on the Family Parenting Compass Assessment offers a different, hopeful, and proactive alternative. It helps you step back, reflect on, and intentionally strengthen “the good stuff” that helps kids grow up successfully. Like a wellness visit to the doctor, this assessment looks for signs of strengths and areas of concern that can be addressed before serious problems require rushing to the “emergency room.”
The Parenting Compass isn’t just for families where everything has gone just fine. If you’ve had serious challenges in your family, this assessment can help you take stock of where you are and where you can rebuild a foundation that sets your teenager on a better path for the future.

So what’s in it for you?
Stop guessing at how well you’re doing as a family — Find out by taking this unique assessment that tells you how each of your preteens/teenagers is doing in light of the 40 Developmental Assets.
Narrow your focus — Parents are bombarded with choices. Parenting Compass helps you define your “True North” as a parent and shows you which one area — that’s right, just one! — you need to work on right now. The eight areas include empowerment, support, constructive use of time and other essential categories.
Get the best of both worlds — Parenting Compass assessment combines biblical wisdom with science that validates empirically the parenting principles you always knew deep down were true. The activities we call “developmental assets” have been proven to work in almost two decades of research.
Stop going it alone — Through our forums and discussion boards you can connect with other parents who are equally serious about raising great kids.
Experience that there’s still hope — Parents of teens and preteens are often told that they can no longer make a difference in the lives of their kids. That’s just plain wrong. Parenting Compass shows that not only can you be involved in your teen’s life but you can still play a significant role in shaping his or her future.
