Book excerpt: What does it take to raise great kids? If you've read any books on parenting, conflicting opinions have probably left you feeling confused. Get tough! Show acceptance. Lay down the rules. Lighten up, already! There's got to be a balance--and there is. Joining their expertise with the wisdom of MOPS International (Mothers of Preschoolers), Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend help you provide both the care and acceptance that make grace real to your child, and the firmness and discipline that give direction. Avoiding the twin extremes of permissiveness and over-control, Drs. Cloud and Townsend show how you can help your child cultivate six necessary character traits: attachment, responsibility, reality, competence, morality, and worship/spiritual life. At last, here is an effective middle ground for raising up children who will handle life with maturity and wisdom. Raising Great Kids will help you equip your son or daughter to accept life's responsibilities, grow from its challenges, and freely and fully explore all that it has to offer.

Book excerpt: International bestseller As seen in The Wall Street Journal--from free play to cozy together time, discover the parenting secrets of the happiest people in the world What makes Denmark the happiest country in the world--and how do Danish parents raise happy, confident, successful kids, year after year? This upbeat and practical book presents six essential principles, which spell out P-A-R-E-N-T: Play is essential for development and well-being. Authenticity fosters trust and an "inner compass." Reframing helps kids cope with setbacks and look on the bright side. Empathy allows us to act with kindness toward others. No ultimatums means no power struggles, lines in the sand, or resentment. Togetherness is a way to celebrate family time, on special occasions and every day. The Danes call this hygge--and it's a fun, cozy way to foster closeness. Preparing meals together, playing favorite games, and sharing other family traditions are all hygge. (Cell phones, bickering, and complaining are not!) With illuminating examples and simple yet powerful advice, The Danish Way of Parenting will help parents from all walks of life raise the happiest, most well-adjusted kids in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many adults today have noted that their parents were less than perfect parents whilst growing up. But did we buckle under this inept parenting?Were we permanently scarred by this experience?Did we suffer forever due to their fault-filled parenting skills? Ah no. Most of us still believe we turned out to be great kids, more resilient and stronger than ever, despite our blemished childhoods. CONVERSELY there are kids who literally seemed to HAVE IT ALL and still grew up to be total ratbags. - They had more freedom than Madonna would know what to do with.- They got handed the keys to their first car the day they turned sixteen.- They lived in the biggest mansions.- They had the coolest, nicest parents.- They lived the dream life of every popular kid characterised in all the best teen movies - from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" to "Clueless". And yet, somewhere along the line SOMETHING WENT WRONG. Not ALL THE TIME of course.But there are plenty "good" parents, who generously gave their kids the moon and stars, and were later left scratching their heads at the brats they spawned. WHEN BAD PARENTS = GREAT KIDS QUESTIONS THE FOLLOWING HYPOTHESIS: IF: Bad parenting "supposedly" = bad kidsGood parenting "supposedly" = good kidsHow come it sometimes goes the other way? WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS TERRIBLE ISN'T REALLY SO TERRIBLE? What if you can technically still be a good parent, even when society deems some of your parenting behaviors less than desirable?With over 300 pages, this book is for any parent who has ever wondered if their less-than-perfecting parenting skills may be causing permanent damage to their kids.It is also for any parent who needs to know the truth - that sometimes good-enough parenting is actually more-than-enough.

It is up to every parent or parents to give them the necessary tools and skills to be successful. Wishing alone will not make it happen. Raising kids is expensive, but a lot of the things that great parent(s) need to do, do not have to cost a lot of money. However, it does require a commitment to put your child first and do the things that will demonstrate great parent skills. This 31-Day Guide to parenting is a simple tool that any parent can use to assist them in raising their child. Think about it—they will always belong to you, and you certainly want what’s best for them and you want them to always give their best, so it is up to you to teach them. If someone promised you that if you made major sacrifices for your child on an ongoing basis, gave of your time unselfishly, and made sure you provided as best you could, your child would grow up to become a productive, successful citizen…would you do it? Of course, you would. So, make the sacrifice today, while they are growing up and moving through the various phases to adulthood, and you will always be proud of them. Does this mean that you or the children will never make mistakes? No—a thousand times, no. However, if you give it 100 percent of all you have to give each and every day, you will never go wrong! There is something about being a parent that is mighty special. Every parent should love their child unconditionally. Please know that it is definitely the toughest job you will ever have; however, the rewards of raising a successful child far outweigh the difficulties you will face raising children. I hope that this 31-Day Guide will serve as a resource to help you as you raise your child. Please know that you will not find all the answers in this book, but you will find great strategies that great parents use when raising children.
