Publisher's summary

Picture respectful, responsible, obedient children who entertain themselves without television or video games, do their own homework, and have impeccable manners. A pie-in-the-sky fantasy? Not so, says family psychologist and best-selling author John Rosemond. Any parent who so desires can grow children who fit that description - happy, emotionally healthy children who honor their parents and their families with good behavior and do their best in school.

In the 1960s, American parents stopped listening to their elders when it came to child rearing and began listening instead to professional experts. Since then, raising children has become fraught with anxiety, stress, and frustration. The solution, says John, lies in raising children according to biblical principles, the same principles that guided parents successfully for hundreds of years. They worked then, and they still work now!

Through his nationally syndicated newspaper column and 11 books, John has been helping families raise happy, well-behaved children for more than 30 years. In Parenting by the Book, which John describes as both a "mission and a ministry," he brings parents back to the uncomplicated basics.

A book for all parents!

This book is so full of pertinent information to help us parents do a better job at raising her children. I can't wait to listen to it again!

Thank you

I was totally sinking. This book is a game changer. Thank you so much Mr Rosemond.

More parents need to read this.

Learn to lead your children instead of being led by them. shocker but their children. by definition they don't know what is best for them. Be the adult. don't demand. command. Learn to measure success differently. not through worldly accolades but by a good and honest spirit and a moral and just heart. 10/10. would read again.

AMAZING

The difference this book made in my family’s life is unbelievable. My two year old is like a different child in the best way. I was so confused about what the right way to parent was. Between social media, the news, and other people’s opinions, I was at a loss. This book helped me to find my way at just the right time and learn how to be the leader my son needs. I would give it 100 stars if I could.

Phenomenal

Great read, and I love his references to the Bible. Every claim he makes is sorted with scripture!

Good read 👍

Very insightful book.. My husband and I will be listening to it again and will be sharing it with our family.

WOW WOW WOW

If I had only had this 30 years ago when raising all my children their lives would have been totally different today. I could have been the parent that I knew God wanted me to be but just didn't know how.

Please read every 5 years!!!!

A must read for all true Christians who seek truth and a Biblical approach to parenting. This book was eye opening and promotes reflection of current practices. Please read if you are frustrated with the statues quo and want peace and confidence in raising your children. God bless!!!

I thought it was great!

I like most everything in this book! The only part that I have a hard time wrapping my brain around is the spankings part, not saying it wrong, but I definitely have more questions about it. Everything else I really agree with!!

Must read!

Any parent at any point of raising children should read this book and just give it a chance.
