There are about a billion parenting books out there, and sometime, I think I've read most of them, but The Well-Behaved Child by John Rosemond is different. First of all, Mr. Rosemond is real...meaning, its not all about getting on the child's level, time out, and using a question at the end of a sentence type of child correction! Mr. Rosemond empowers the parent to become the parent again and free's the child to be a child again through solid guidance and rules.
Mr. Rosemond takes the new "behavior modification" method and rewrites how children need to have rules, serious limitations and parents deserve respect, no matter what. He's very clear that there is a solid difference between loving discipline and abuse and makes sure you know it too.
Here's the book description from The Well-Behaved Child:
A parenting workshop in a book!
The biggest frustration felt by today's parents is in the area of discipline. Family psychologist, best-selling author, and parenting expert John Rosemond uses his thirty-six years of professional experience working with families to develop the quintessential "how to" book for parents. Rosemond's step-by-step program, based on biblical principles, traditional parenting approaches, and common sense, covers a wide range of discipline problems applicable to children from toddler to teen.
Sections include:
* Essential Discipline Principles
* Essential Discipline Tools
* Perplexing Problems and Simple Solutions
* Not Your Everyday Problems
* General Questions and Answers
Filled with real-life examples that anyone who's ever been around children can relate to, this book is sure to be one of the most valuable, helpful resources parents have ever stumbled across.I personally cannot recommend this book enough! You can pick up a copy at The Thomas Nelson website or any bookstore!

I need that book! Kiddo is nine going on 21, and thinks he has the sense of humor of said 21 year old. Only, his sarcasm and "jokes" come across as smartalek and out and out lies. Not that he does this all the time, just when he thinks he's a grown up and not a kid. : )
I've missed your posts! I've been tasseling somethin' fierce and have not had time to read any posts except those doing my giveaways. Hopefully I can figure out a way to balance all of it!
OOOppss, I messed up my last comment. Let me try that again.
Sounds very interesting! I will have to check this one out. Does it really get into much about teen issues? I see where you say 'toddler to teen' but I'm not sure if that means it stops at the teen years.
My absolute favorite parenting book, which I LOVE to give as a gift at baby showers, is 'Shepherding a Child's Heart' by Tedd Tripp. It is AMAZING. It is also 'based on biblical principles, traditional parenting approaches, and common sense'. It really helped me to learn how to discipline out of love instead of out of anger. That was truly a turning point in my life.
Thanks for the review. I hope you and your family have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
