New Releases by John Rosemond

The Bible "code" of the title refers not to a cryptogram, but to a set of standards - biblical standards for the proper raising of children. Best-selling author and psychologist John Rosemond examines forty Bible verses and passages that make no overt mention of parenting matters and explains their relevance to a proper understanding of children and parental responsibilities. How does, for example, "love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39) apply to raising children? The Bible Parenting Code contains a wealth of guidance for parents regardless of faith orientation. In the final analysis, what the Bible has to say about children confirms commonsense, which is Rosemond''s stock-in-trade.

Getting to Heaven: A Guide for the PerplexedWhether you believe Heaven is a real place or nothing more than a lovely fiction that Hollywood occasionally portrays, in stereotype, using mega-fog machines, this book is for you. In fact, it could save your life. That may sound overblown, but John Rosemond and Scott Gleason intend to convince you - believer or not - of exactly that. In either case, Heaven is probably not what you think it is. And getting to Heaven - which is where any sane person would want to end up - is not as easy as some think, nor is it as difficult as some think, either. Incredibly enough, most pastors do not preach on salvation (the somewhat fancy term for getting to Heaven). Some of them avoid the topic out of not wanting to be perceived as unsophisticated. After all, one can''t talk about Heaven without talking about that other place as well, and we all know that while believing in Heaven is okay, relatively speaking, believing in that other place is often regarded as the exclusive province of ninnies, nincompoops and numskulls. Others avoid it because the topic, properly dealt with, leads right into politically-incorrect subject matter. So, they preach on moral lessons they''ve learned while on vacation at Disney World or helping an elderly person change a tire. Timidity being antithetical to their worldview, Rosemond and Gleason cut straight to the heart of the matter, laying it bare.

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!

For more than forty years and counting, family psychologist and best-selling author John Rosemond has been counseling parents about how to help children do their best in school. This new book draws on all of that knowledge and experience so that parents can set their kids on the path to success in education, even at age three. Dealing with common problems like how much and what kind of help to give with homework, what to do when a child misbehaves in school, and how to deal with academic performance that consistently falls below a child''s ability level, Rosemond addresses every issue with time-tested advice and methods. Other books on schoolwork encourage lots of parental involvement. Not this one. Rosemond''s approach will help parents disengage from homework and other hassles as they manage their children to even greater success in the classroom. Describing his behavior management strategies that are used by school systems all over the country, he writes with an entertaining, compelling style that will keep parents reading the valuable, helpful information in John Rosemond''s Fail-Safe Formula for Helping Your Child Succeed in School, and the book promises to earn high marks for both parents and children.

La tarea puede ser uno de los problemas más frustrantes para niños y padres. En esta guía útil, Rosemond advierte en contra de la interferencia de los padres y ofrece métodos para ayudar a los niños hacer su propia tarea.

Padres modernos han hecho creer que los niños requieren una atención constante. Psicólogo John Rosemond sabe que no es cierto. Dr. Rosemond ofrece consejos para sacar lo mejor de cada miembro de la familia con su ''plan de seis puntos.'' 1. Los padres deben hacer que matrimonio la primera prioridad. 2. Los padres deben esperar que los niños obedezcan. 3. Los padres deben asignar tareas del hogar a los niños con el fin de establecer la responsabilidad. 4. Padres: no tengáis miedo de decir "no" a tus hijos. 5. Eliminan los juguetes innecesarios. 6. No permiten que tus hijos ven demasiada televisión. Los padres que practican este plan simple están ayudando a sus hijos a ser felices y responsables en el futuro.

Focusing on the developmental period spanning age eighteen to thirty-six-months, which renowned parenting expert John Rosemond dubs, “the twos,” Making the “Terrible” Twos Terrific! offers practical parenting advice to ensure that every child’s “twos” are terrific. By offering comprehensive tips on everything from toilet training to developing good habits for bedtime, as well as disciplinary techniques to control aggressive behaviors, Making the “Terrible” Twos Terrific! approaches parenting in a straightforward, accessible manner that is easy for parents to implement and achieve success with their toddlers. No bribing, meltdowns, nudging, or cajoling are necessary. All parents need is consistent, firm, and loving interactions with their toddler to guide him or her during the developmental years. The methods described by Rosemond also translate to success throughout other life endeavors such as school, relationship building, and even productivity in the distant tween and teen years. To ensure that earthquaking foot stomps, decibel-shattering screaming, and consistently stubborn behavior are not the norm for your toddler, consult Rosemond’s Making the “Terrible” Twos Terrific!.

John Rosemond''s A Family of Value presents a critical view of the child care literature of the past quarter century and argues for an end to overindulgent parenting and a return to the goal of instilling moral values, such as responsibility, respectfulness, and resourcefulness.

In Teen-Proofing, now available in paperback, he tackles the challenges of raising a teenager with his trademark user-friendly, humorous, and commonsense style. Rosemond lays out a perfectly sound and logical case for recognizing the realities of the teen-parent relationship, forming the foundation, and parenting with the "Long Rope Principle." In short, the author demonstrates how Mom and Dad can avoid the pitfalls of becoming dictatorial "Control Freaks," skirt the potholes of turning into permissive "Wimps," and enjoy the freedom and rewards of parenting in a controlled (but not controlling) and relaxed manner. Teenagers, Rosemond readily admits, can be a challenge. But infusing young adults with a sense of personal responsibility, then showing them the results of good and bad choices, is a goal every parent can achieve.

Explains how parenting theories put forth since the 1970s have been wrong on such matters as self-esteem, adoption, praise, punishment, and toilet training, and advocates for a return to the parenting strategies of the 1950s and 1960s.

Your great-grandmother would be amazed to learn that toilet training has become one of Mom''s greatest sources of anxiety and frustration during her child''s early years. To Great-Grandma, it was no worse than teaching her child to use a spoon. 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. This book is helpful, revealing, and funny. Best of all, the method works! Thousands of parents have used it to discover how easy toilet training can be. With his trademark parents-take-control style, Rosemond covers everything from the basic how-to and troubleshooting issues to successful testimonies and proper encouragement. His straightforward and no-nonsense advice utilizes simple steps with proven results. No arguing, bribing, or cajoling necessary. It helps parents avoid common toilet-training mistakes, and leads the way to a diaper-free household.

A well-behaved child? Yes, it''s possible! Do you battle with your kids over bedtime? Have fights over food? Are tantrums and conflicts ruling your day? If time-outs have quit working and you find yourself at wit''s end, giving in to your kids'' demands just to have a moment of peace, know there is hope! In The Well-Behaved Child, beloved psychologist John Rosemond shares his seven essential tools for raising a child who pays attention and obeys. Once you learn how to use his proven, user-friendly techniques, you''ll have everything you need to deal effectively with a wide range of discipline problems in children ages three to thirteen, what John terms "The Decade of Discipline." This clear, step-by-step program includes: Seven Fundamentals of Effective Discipline Seven Discipline Tools You Can''t Do Without Seven Top Behavior Problems of All Time—Solved! Seven Tales of the Strange and Unexpected You can raise well-behaved children! In this readable, entertaining "workshop in a book," John shows parents how to use the C-words of commanding communication, compelling consequences, and confirming consistency to create a well-behaved child and a family in which peace replaces hassles. It''s not complicated at all, and the best part is, it REALLY works!

Homework can be one of the most frustrating of all problem areas for chidlren and parents. In this helpful guide, Rosemond warns against parental interference and demonstrates ways to help children learn to work on their own and to take responsibility for getting the work done themselves.

How parents, teachers, and even professionals are being deceived by the "ADHD Establishment" regarding ADHD and other childhood behavior disorders and the drugs used to treat them. The issue of diagnosing children with behavioral diseases that do not conform to a scientific definition of disease, and then medicating them is a scandal ready to erupt. In The Diseasing of America''s Children, popular family psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author John Rosemond joins with pediatrician Dr. Bose Ravenel to uncover the fiction and fallacy behind attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), early-onset biopolar disorder (EOBD), and the drugs prescribed to treat them. Rosemond and Ravenel will: reveal the pseudo-science behind these diagnoses explain how parents, teachers, and even professionals are deceived expose the short- and long-term dangers behavioral drugs pose to children discuss how America''s schools are unwittingly feeding the diagnostic beast reveal the simple, common sense truth behind these behavior problems and give parents a practical program for curing these problems without drugs or dependence on professionals

The truth is, child rearing is not complicated. Therefore, it is not hard. There will be difficult moments, of course, . . . but if a parent is experiencing the rearing of a child or children as generally difficult--as emotionally, intellectually, and even physically exhausting, then the parent is doing something wrong. --John Rosemond, Family Building Trusted family psychologist John Rosemond has a revolutionary message for today''s parents: Your grandparents'' generation knew a lot more about raising children than all of today''s experts. The experts have turned child rearing into a complicated, exhausting chore rather than the simple, straightforward task it should be. In Family Building: The Five Fundamentals of Effective Parenting, Rosemond outlines the five key principles of traditional parenting that are crucial to raising well-behaved children today. * It''s about the family, not the children. * Where discipline is concerned, it''s about communication, not consequences; leadership not relationship. * It''s about respecting others, not high self-esteem. * It''s about manners and morals, not skills. * It''s about responsibility, not high achievement. Each chapter includes questions from real parents faced with real-life parenting challenges, and in his typical no-nonsense style, Rosemond provides practical solutions. Family Building restores common sense to parenting and puts the parents back in charge. Once again, John Rosemond delivers child-rearing wisdom that no parent should miss.

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 bestselling 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 eleven books, John has been helping families raise happy, well-behaved children for more than thirty years. In Parenting by The Book, which John describes as both a "mission and a ministry," he brings parents back to the uncomplicated basics. Herein fi nd practical, Bible-based advice that will help you be the parent you want to be, with children who will be, as the Bible promises, "a delight to your soul" (Pro. 29-17). As a bonus, John also promises to make you laugh along the way.
