Summary: PARENTING MADE EASY
Comment: Every parent should get this book at the hospital when your child is born and study it for the first two years of your child's life and then put it all into action. I saw a speech by John Rosemond and I was hooked. I agree with him 150%, all these so called professionals have screwed up child rearing and he makes perfect sense. He does not in any way promote spanking, but agrees there may be a time that it is needed as long as it is controlled and not out of anger. He states that children reared in the 50's may have only received 4 to 5 spankings in their entire childhood as compared to people I know spanking 4-5 times a week! He states that you do not have to spank a well-behaved, respectable child. I agree. I grew up in the 70's but all my parents had to do was give me "the look". I was at my wits end 10 months ago and slowly and but surely I now have a well behaved respectable 3 1/2 yr old who still does stuff he shouldn't but I have not had to spank him at all and he is happily blooming under a little bit of structured parental guidance. I can just give him "the look" and without any words he changes his behavior and my friends can't believe it. I wish all my friends would read this or any book by John Rosemond and use it as their parental bible. BUY IT, USE IT, AND ENJOY RAISING YOUR CHILD.

Summary: I really appreciate this book!
Comment: First the Positive:
I like John Rosemond and I appreciate his advice. Even if I don't always agree with everything or use everything he says, I like most of his suggestions. This is good old fashioned parenting at it's best.
This book is easy to read. There are 366 short articles. Each article tackles one subject and provides some thoughts about how to deal with each subject. Some things covered are whining, spanking, chores not being done, discipline, etc.
My only complaint: These articles cover such a wide range of topics and a wide range of ages only a small portion of it is useful for me at any given time.
This book sits on my shelf and I use it as a reference tool. As we enter each stage of childhood, I refer to it to refresh my memory of what I read. There are many good suggestions in this book.
If you want to raise well behaved children that don't drive you and those around you to distraction, this is the book to get.

Summary: The BEST Parenting Book I Have Ever Read!
Comment: My husband and I are the parent of a strong-willed 4 year old and we also live far away from any family. This book has been our life saver. Almost all of the advice he gave in this book has helped in one way or another. It's the good, old-fashioned advice that my parents and grandparents would be giving us if we lived near them. Contrary to what people say, that kind of advice still works! My family is living proof of this. The format of his book broken down into 366 "daily devotions" makes it easy to read and understand. I thoroughly agree with his stand on spankings and how you should put your marriage first and make your children pay more attention to you than you do to them. Just following this advice has made a drastic improvement with my daughter's behavior in a short period of time. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels that they are at the "end of their rope" with their kids' behavior.
