Nobody ever said it was easy to raise
the next generation to be responsible, productive members of society,
but this book offers some helpful suggestions. Children are people
who expect to be treated with respect and love.
This does not mean that we have to let
them rule the family. I love chapter two in this book. It discusses
the nine myths of parenting. I think we all feel guilty at not giving
our children more that we had, not suggesting that they can be
greater, but that doesn't mean pushing them into endless activities
and giving them opportunities that perhaps they don't want all
designed to make them more successful than we were.
Children need love, limits, and
respect. If we can give them these three things, they will find their
own ways to succeed in life using the talents God gave them.
This is an excellent book for parents.
The chapters deal with different perspectives on child rearing, but
they are all excellent. It's a great book to discuss with your
spouse, or in a Christian group dedicate to parenting. I highly
recomment it.
I reviewed this book for Worthy
Publishing.
