Family Building : The Five Fundamentals of Effective Parenting
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Trusted family psychologist John Rosemond has a revolutionary message for today's parents: Your grandparents' generation knew a lot more about raising children than all of today's "experts." The "experts" have turned child rearing into a complicated, exhausting chore rather than the simple, straightforward task it should be. In Family Building: The Five Fundamentals of Effective Parenting, Rosemond outlines the five key principles of traditional parenting that are crucial to raising well-behaved children today.
" It's about the family, not the children.
" Where discipline is concerned, it's about communication, not consequences; leadership not relationship.
" It's about respecting others, not high self-esteem.
" It's about manners and morals, not skills.
" It's about responsibility, not high achievement.
Each chapter includes questions from real parents faced with real-life parenting challenges, and in his typical no-nonsense style, Rosemond provides practical solutions. Family Building restores common sense to parenting and puts the parents back in charge. Once again, John Rosemond delivers child-rearing wisdom that no parent should miss.
John Rosemond is a family psychologist, author of ten parenting best-sellers, and a syndicated columnist appearing weekly in more than 200 American newspapers. He is the executive director of the Center for Affirmative Parenting in Gastonia, N.C. His credentials include a 37-year marriage, two happily married children, and six well-behaved grandchildren.
