Download or read book The Official Parent s Handbook written by Bria Anna Mcdonald and published by Drpmp Pub. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the author''s attempt to capture all the motherly advice from the previous generation of mothers, for the next generations of mothers. It is the author''s intent is to share the unwritten rules from mothers everywhere. Namely, if you really listen to what your mother always said you will hear the unwritten rules of parenting. Over the past year, the author has been asking people from all over the country to share rules from their childhood. The result of that sampling and her own research is presented in the pages that follow. You will enjoy the familiar walk down memory lane and the new explorations of what mothers everywhere are saying that their children ought to do! The author, reflecting on their child-rearing years, has captured the quintessential elements of parenthood. Their words illustrate that there are no easy shortcuts to raising intelligent and loving children with strong moral character. Parenthood is a full-time job and should be performed with the same level of diagnosis, preparation, study and commitment as brain or open-heart surgery. The rules are presented in alphabetical order; they are not in order of priority. Each section contains the legal-ease of the rule, followed by the consequences for failing to comply with Official Parents Handbook. The handbook suggests that parents who fail to instill these rules in their children are faced with a host of hardships. The ultimate hardship is always the loss of their membership in the esteemed Nation Parent Association. While, the book illustrates time-honored rules, the consequences are somewhat fictitious. However, if you examine the consequences carefully, you may find that they resemble natural consequences to issues in character development. Similar problems in your own parent-child relationship may possibly be traced back to the lack of enforcing rules under a particular Article of the Official Parents Handbook. It is food for thought! The author writes, "Many parents, while frustrated with their childs behavior, are not thinking seriously about changing their own parenting techniques. Parents in this power struggle tend to defend their current parenting style and do not feel it is a part of the childs problem. They may be defensive in the face of others efforts to pressure them to change their approach to parenting. In fact, most parents in crisis are not interested in any kind of parenting help. They are seeking help for their child, not self-help. They may even be in denial that they are both a part of the problem and a critical element to the solution. Spare the Rules Spoil the Child uses a humorous approach to expose the truth about us as parents. The book bluntly asks what kind of child are you raising is s/he out of control? The time honored rules and humorous consequences are presented as part of a fictitious handbook written by the National Parents Association. Nonetheless, parents cant deny the cause and effect relationship that exists between noncompliance with these rules and a childs unacceptable behavior. This book seeks to make parents more aware of the consequences of their parenting choices and the importance of reinforcing social norms. It affords parents quality time to think about the root of their childs socialization problems. This book is thought provoking. It places parents on a teeter-totter, forcing them to weigh the pros and cons of enforcing time-honored rules and/or modifying their own behavior. As parents ponder the positives associated with changing parenting strategies, they may doubt that the long-term benefits will outweigh the short-term costs of forcing their child to come into compliance. The book encourages parents to consider the overall importance of changing to enable their child to become a well-adjusted, productive adult. Lastly, this book hopes to motivate a commitment to change. The book prompts parents to gather additional information about what they will need to do to change their behavior. The second book will focus on what strategies and resources are available to help them in their attempt. Too often, parents skip this initial stage. They try to move directly into action and fall flat on their faces because they havent adequately researched or accepted what it is going to take to make this major lifestyle change. "
