In a humorous and accessible style, renowned child psychologist John Rosemond presents the "Long Rope Principle," emphasizing the importance of understanding the teen-parent relationship and establishing a solid foundation for effective parenting.
Today's parents are all but completely disconnected from the commonsense parenting wisdom of their parents and grandparents. The self-esteem parenting revolution has erased the practical insights gathered by generations of parents about the best way to raise kids. In this book, John Rosemond seeks to recover this wisdom by resurrecting what parents of yesteryear tended to say. Maxims such as "because I said so," "children should be seen not heard," and "you're acting too big for your britches" are more than cute sayings for John. They are parenting principles, springing from a biblical view of the world. John makes the case that these principles from the good old days are just as valid today and will help parents to pass on values to their kids so that they can succeed at life. Grandma was right after all!
Combining John Rosemond's most popular works "Parent Power" and "The Six Point Plan" in one volume, this is the complete parenting philosophy of one of America's foremost experts in the field. This new edition contains updated and revised material and joins the content of both of the original books.
Covering a wide range of parenting topics, this book offers practical wisdom and humor, addressing issues from allowances to sibling rivalry. John Rosemond draws on insights from his previous successful works to provide guidance for raising happy, healthy children. His characteristic wit makes the advice accessible and relatable for parents navigating the challenges of child-rearing.
Rosemond guides parents through the steps of establishing an effective disciplinary style and a tried-and-true recipe for bringing out the very best in young children.
Rosemond does not write from the perspective of a psychologist, but with the common sense and authority derived from 30 years of counseling parents, and from his two children and seven grandchildren, some of whom he helped toilet train. He advises an old-fashioned approach to toilet training that would have earned Grandma's stamp of approval.
Jak to się dzieje, że współcześni rodzice, wychowując dwójkę dzieci, są bardziej zestresowani niż ci, którzy pięćdziesiąt lat temu wychowywali ich piątkę? Co więcej – im bardziej angażują się w to zadanie, tym większe napięcie towarzyszy ich działaniom. A to, paradoksalnie, tylko zwiększa ryzyko porażki. John Rosemond, amerykański psycholog rodzinny, publicysta i rekolekcjonista podpowiada, jak przerwać to błędne koło i uwolnić się od nieustannego rodzicielskiego niepokoju.
