Ten Tips on Raising a Family...While Loving Your Teenagers

Books of Tens, Book 4

I take very little exception to the plethora of advice columns, TV advice psychologists, and theoretical books on this topic. What I do take exception to are those who quote and promote the latest polls, studies, and psychological findings as the bible on child-rearing.

For too many years, parents have followed some of these self-proclaimed gurus and, as a result, have robbed our children of the qualities of taking responsibility and the honor of honesty and hard work. I find this evidenced in and through the idea of blaming parents, terrible youthful home life, and some circumstances beyond the control of the individual.

These conditions are claimed to be the cause of all our individual failings and, in too many instances, crimes. When we are able to place the blame on someone or something outside of ourselves, it seems to exonerate us from any responsibility for our actions; this further perpetuates immature, irresponsible and immoral behavior.

A Book for Families of All Ages

Just because teenagers are mentioned in the title, don’t assume it’s not for families with younger kids. In fact, the younger your children are when you listen to this, the better!!!

Valuable Even Without Teenagers in the Home!

Magnificent insight into raising a family in love. There's great value for parents who have children of any age, but also for anyone who interacts with other people!

A great read for families! I loved the anecdotes and experiences throughout the books. This book is great for young families as well!
