Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the most crucial areas of human life-raising children, parents face many problems of varying degrees and far too many failures. The parents themselves may be excellent persons with the best of intentions and love for their children but they may not necessarily be the parents they want to be. This could be because they do not understand children or how to motivate them to good behavior. When parents face these perplexing problems, many feel without adequate guidance. The purpose of this book is to teach parents how to find success with their children. It explains the kind of people parents could be, the home life they must provide, the care and devotion required and the close friendship they must build to reach this success. It teaches clear-cut methods of helping them to be obedient and responsible, of developing their character and intellect to its highest potential and of building a feeling of self-worth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you've ever asked yourself if you're parenting the "right way", rest assured that there are many "right ways" and that the ultimate judgment of your parenting will come as a result of the behavior of your children. "Raising Children That Other People Like to be Around" offers parents the tools necessary to establish a clear set of values from which to make parenting decisions. After raising four kids from kindergarten through college, Richard Greenberg offers readers specific suggestions and guidelines to help reduce conflict, improve communication and replace parenting stress with confidence and control. By encouraging the use of common sense, and defining a comfortable, consistent, realistic path, Greenberg gives parents the confidence they need to raise healthy, happy children. "Teaching children respect means showing respect for ourselves. It's not easy to live an exemplary life, but trying hard to do so is exactly what being a parent is. None of us are perfect, but every day we have opportunities to show our kids the high road not only in our expectations of them, but in our expectations of ourselves." â R Greenberg
Download or read book Parentology written by Dalton Conley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning scientist offers his unorthodox approach to childrearing: “Parentology is brilliant, jaw-droppingly funny, and full of wisdom…bound to change your thinking about parenting and its conventions” (Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother). If you’re like many parents, you might ask family and friends for advice when faced with important choices about how to raise your kids. You might turn to parenting books or simply rely on timeworn religious or cultural traditions. But when Dalton Conley, a dual-doctorate scientist and full-blown nerd, needed childrearing advice, he turned to scientific research to make the big decisions. In Parentology, Conley hilariously reports the results of those experiments, from bribing his kids to do math (since studies show conditional cash transfers improved educational and health outcomes for kids) to teaching them impulse control by giving them weird names (because evidence shows kids with unique names learn not to react when their peers tease them) to getting a vasectomy (because fewer kids in a family mean smarter kids). Conley encourages parents to draw on the latest data to rear children, if only because that level of engagement with kids will produce solid and happy ones. Ultimately these experiments are very loving, and the outcomes are redemptive—even when Conley’s sassy kids show him the limits of his profession. Parentology teaches you everything you need to know about the latest literature on parenting—with lessons that go down easy. You’ll be laughing and learning at the same time.

Download or read book Too Much of a Good Thing written by Daniel J. Kindlon and published by Miramax. This book was released on 2003-01-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many adolescents today have all the useful accessories of a prosperous society-cell phones, credit cards, computers, cars-they have few of the responsibilities that build character. Under intense pressure to be perfect and achieve, they devote little time to an inner life, and a culture that worships instant success makes it hard for them to engage in the slow, careful building of the skills that enhance self-esteem and self-sufciency. In this powerful and provocative book, Dr. Kindlon delineates how indulged toddlers become indulged teenagers who are at risk for becoming prone to, among other things, excessive self-absorption, depression and anxiety, and lack of self-control. Too Much of a Good Thing maps out the ways in which parents can reach out to their children, teach them engagement in meaningful activity, and promote emotional maturity and a sense of self-worth. Dan Kindlon, Ph.D. is a professor of child psychology at Harvard University. He is a frequent contributor to Child magazine and is the co-author of Raising Cain, a New York Times best-seller. He lives in Boston with his wife and two children.

Download or read book Raising Children the Old Fashioned Way written by B. J. Hodges and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does Gods plan for raising children look like? It looks and smells like success with Gods favor in bloom! When we partner with God, using his plan, he will open the door to unimaginable blessings. Our world has been broken and dysfunctional since the sins of Adam and Eve. As the population of the world increases, so does evil (sin). Raising Children the Old Fashioned Way: For a Better Tomorrow will bring parents hope, encouragement, and an avenue to success when they put Gods parenting plan into action. Raising Children the Old Fashioned Way is a scripturally based guideline that presents Gods opinion, wisdom, and common sense for raising children in accordance to his plan. Roman 15:4 says, Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scripture, we might have hope. Children deserve the best, and that is to be raised by Gods wisdom and principles. It is obvious God has been ignored for far too long. It is quite apparent that the world today lacks Gods knowledge, Gods wisdom, and Gods discernment. Parents have the ability to change this atrocity for the sake of all children. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun.

Raising children is a job, and we are failing our job by not listening to what is expected of usthat is, to give our children more than we have. They cant get it without education, respect, discipline, and a lot of love and understanding of what they have to face. Lets stop having babies at a young age and start planning for our young men and womens future.
