The New Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children

The New Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children by John Rosemond

You may recall me mentioning this book in an earlier post on what I am reading. I have finished reading said book and I am ready to tell you that I would recommend it. Although I might not be 100% on board with all of it, I do agree with and see the truth in the vast majority of what he is recommending. Not only that but we are implementing those things and already have seen good results. The nice thing about this book is that it isn’t all talk about higher parenting without definite ways to go about doing it. He gives you clear guidance and boundaries… and there are at the end of each chapter Questions and Answers that are very helpful (questions from parents).

Although this is not a Christian parenting book it does line up with the Christian parenting books I have read. He believes that your marriage is very important and that having a solid marriage gives the child the security, love and tools that child needs to be healthy and happy. Therefore your marriage is central and key and your world does not evolve around your child. Your child is a part of the family but is not what holds the family together. He also believes in authoritative parenting…Balancing love and discipline… any way check it out for yourself.
