Good framework for developing a philisophical parenting approach by L. Cohen
This book is written from a layman’s view of parenting so it was a bit off-putting to me at times due to the lack of basis for theory. However, I found myself really thinking about the overall approach I used to parent my 3 y.o. daughter. This book helped me to examine the philosophy behind disciplinary practices, which has made my interactions with my daughter more thoughtful. I would recommend reading this book if you would like food for thought about the philosophy you use to discipline your child(ren).
Works for all of us by BekahKnits
I own about 10 parenting books and this is the only one that works. It is neither “too liberal” nor “too conservative”. It suggests a true Relationship of mutual respect with your kids, without allowing them to rule the roost.
It’s a funny book, heartwarming, and motivational, with real-world advice as the author learned it the hard way from years in the classroom.
This is a great book for teachers and caretakers and we are giving it to a relative who teaches 6th graders.
Of all the books in my collection this is the only one I’ve bothered writing a review for because it actually works. And I’m not exhausting myself trying to keep up with/enforce the rules. I have to think hard sometimes on how to apply the principles to my diffucult 6year old daughter, but when I make the connection it works every time.
Read It by E Mechem
This book is all about making your parenting life more enriching. It advocates backing off a little and letting your kids learn. I have enjoyed my kids much more since I learned to let go a little. I have been so tired of hearing about how spanking your kids, excessive timeouts, taking away stuff, rules, rules, and more rules, etc. is going to teach your kid something. It doesn’t. This book outlines what works instead. It’s right up there with Dr. Sears’ The Discipline Book in my parenting arsenal. Drop Dobson and Ezzo and give Mac Bledsoe’s book a chance. There is a more dignified way to parent.
note: David didn’t write this. I did(Elizabeth Mechem). I can’t get David’s profile off this computer!!!
A Great Church Outreach! by Bob Morris
A Great Church Outreach!
We have implemented Mac’s ‘Parenting with Dignity’ curriculum into our education program at our church. This has not only served to better equip parents on how to raise responsible, independent children but has been a wonderful outreach tool to the unchurched community. The 5-point plan explained in this book can easily be incorporated into biblical principles which we teach simultaneously. If we can help you incorporate this parenting plan into your church, feel free to email us at blue.ski@verizon.net. Bob & Denise Morris Richland, WA
