Book Description
Are you looking for the best parenting methods that will help you raise great and well-rounded children in our fast paced and poorly regulated world? Have you found conflicting ideas about which way is best, and now you are at a loss? Have you tried the ‘cool’ things with modern parenting, like being BFFs with your children only to have negatives outcomes? Now you wonder what to do next? If so, this book is for you. As parents are being encouraged to grow closer to their children, many have found themselves playing the ‘best friend’ role. It seems to create the best parent-child relationship, doesn’t it? In this book, we discuss the parental role, and discover the foundation on which a healthy parent-child relationship should be built. We uncover the realities of relating with your children as BFFs, and discover why it can become quite a prevalent challenge for good parenting. Are you wondering; What are the best parenting techniques in a word full of contradictive ideas? How can I be close and feel connected to my children without being their BFF? How do I know how to strike a good balance and play the unpleasant parts of my parental roles, while still building a great connection with my children? I tried being a BFF to my younger daughter to keep her close and happy, because I had been too strict with my older one and we grew apart. Both of these methods didn’t work. Being too close ruined my child. In my effort to be a friend, I didn’t teach her responsibility and control. Being too strict ran off the other one. Just like you, I would wonder, “how do I find the perfect balance?” I write this book out of my experience. I eventually did find a good balance and I share the lessons in this book. My kids turned out great after all. You can achieve this too.

Parenting by the Book
Author: John Rosemond
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416568441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Picture respectful, responsible, obedient children who entertain themselves without television or video games, do their own homework, and have impeccable manners. A pie-in-the-sky fantasy? Not so, says family psychologist and bestselling author John Rosemond. Any parent who so desires can grow children who fit that description -- happy, emotionally healthy children who honor their parents and their families with good behavior and do their best in school. In the 1960s, American parents stopped listening to their elders when it came to child rearing and began listening instead to professional experts. Since then, raising children has become fraught with anxiety, stress, and frustration. The solution, says John, lies in raising children according to biblical principles, the same principles that guided parents successfully for hundreds of years. They worked then, and they still work now! Through his nationally syndicated newspaper column and eleven books, John has been helping families raise happy, well-behaved children for more than thirty years. In Parenting by The Book, which John describes as both a "mission and a ministry," he brings parents back to the uncomplicated basics. Herein fi nd practical, Bible-based advice that will help you be the parent you want to be, with children who will be, as the Bible promises, "a delight to your soul" (Pro. 29-17). As a bonus, John also promises to make you laugh along the way.
