#4 - JULY 2009 - Parenting by THE BOOK by John Rosemond
I had read some great reviews on Rosemond and was very interested in reading this book which is his most popular and most controversial book. I learned so much about the history of child rearing and how up coming generations of children are heading for disaster. One doesn't have to look far to see that children of today are out of control. Just take a trip to the grocery store or the mall! At the end of the book he writes that he's "concerned about the future of America. Functional child rearing strengthens culture, and dysfunctional child rearing weakens it." He drives home the conclusion that part of the problem is the way parents manage their children, not that their children were born to be forever wild. It all starts at home. I really enjoyed this book and got TONS of helpful tips that I know I may need to implement in the future. I especially loved in every chapter his reference to how "grandma use to do things".
"If you depart from God's plan in any area of your life, you will experience more (and more serious) problems than you would have encountered otherwise. America has departed from God's blueprint for child rearing. My intent is to help parents understand and properly align themselves with God's blueprint for child rearing." He clearly reminds the reader that God makes nothing complicated which was such a fresh reminder to everyday life.
