Singing in unison is when all voices sing the same note, at the same time, to emphasize the text. Similarly, families need to parent in unison to emphasize the message they want to send to their children.
Cecil Taylor uses his personal parenting experience, and those of the families he’s taught and ministered to over decades, to create unique foundational strategies for unison parenting within a Christian context. Learn how to stay on the same page throughout the trials of parenting, provide children with a solid faith foundation, and balance loving nature with firm boundaries to create a warm, stable environment where the child and parent can eventually collaborate to bring the child to full, responsible adulthood.
Whether in a traditional or nontraditional family structure, Unison Parenting leads parents through the ages and stages of childhood into mature adulthood. Additionally, Cecil lays out parenting fundamentals to manage your child’s growing need for independence during their teen years, while gradually building trust through incremental decision-making.

More from Cecil
Would you like to know the surefire, guaranteed way to get your teen to open up and talk to you? You’ll find it in my new book, Unison Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Christian Parenthood with One Voice.
Unison Parenting is the culmination of my fifteen years leading parenting classes in my church, my thirty years of youth ministry, and my raising of three children (one adopted) to adulthood. I taught and tested the parenting advice with seven hundred families that attended my classes, so I am convinced the structure and tips you’ll find in the book are well-proven.
One of those tips is how to get your teen to talk to you. I have never had anyone return to me to say that the technique doesn’t work; in fact, they laughingly complain that the technique works too well, and they can’t get their teen to stop talking!
An overarching theme of the book is, of course, getting and staying in unison as parents, but not only as parents – as a family. Another way to put it is a spirit of collaboration. You begin building this collaboration when the children are young, and as they grow, you expand the collaboration to partner with them on the common goal of helping them become mature adults who make good decisions.
I can tell you from experience that the collaborating spirit of such a family continues into adulthood, fostering solid on-going relationships and a desire for family community, even across distance.
This is not to say that my wife and I were perfect, nor that our children were perfect. We all made regrettable mistakes along the way. Our learnings, plus the positive and negative experiences of families I encountered over decades, will help you avoid pitfalls as you create a unison atmosphere among parenting partners and with your children.

My Review
Unison Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Christian Parenthood with One Voice by Cecil Taylor is a great parenting guide. It covers for all age groups of childhood that all parents of minors could use for their own parenting. It is broken down into parts: The Fundamentals and Parenting Teens. I liked the author's approach with his advice on being the best parent that I can be. I am a solo parent of an already teen and another that will be a teen within the next month. I will be holding on to this book and have it close by so I can be read it again and again.
I am giving Unison Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Christian Parenthood with One Voice by Cecil Taylor five stars. I recommend it for parents who are looking for advice on Christian parenting.
I received a paperback copy of Cecil Taylor's Unison Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Christian Parenthood with One Voice from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
