We’re Glad You’re Here

We hope you'll grab a cup of coffee, wander around, and discover a little more help and hope for your parenting.

Who is “Raising Boys & Girls?”

We’re Melissa, David and Sissy. We’ve been counseling kids and families for over 75+ years at Daystar Counseling Ministries, a place that one of our little friends called “the yellow house that helps people.” We are honored to take what we learn from these wise kids and families and bring it to you by way of the books we write and the conferences we share with parents and educators across the country and beyond.

Join us at the little yellow house!

In each episode of the Raising Boys & Girls podcast, we share some of what we’re learning in the work we do with kids and families on a daily basis at Daystar Counseling in Nashville, TN. Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding, a little more practical help and a whole lot of hope. So, pull up a chair and join us on this journey from our little yellow house to yours.

Find us in your city

You can find us at a church or school near you, talking about all things parenting, from Raising Boys and Girls to Are My Kids on Track to Raising Worry-Free Kids. We love getting to meet you in person, and consider it a great honor to laugh with you, encourage you, and learn together what it means to love the little people whose lives you touch…
