Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2005
First time in paperback—the celebrated new approach to effective parenting, as seen on 20/20.

Mac Bledsoe knows a thing or two about parenting. Aside from being father to football great Drew Bledsoe, the elder Bledsoe spent 29 years teaching high school and coaching sports. This trade paperback edition urges parents to rethink their approach to discipline and let kids make some of their own decisions and experience the consequences early on, so that they can act responsibly later.

• Features a foreword by Drew Bledsoe and an endorsement from 20/20’s John Stossel

Format:Hardcover
Parenting with Dignity by Mac Bledsoe is a must read for all parents. I am the father of three children and have been searching for years for good parenting advice. Unlike many other resources I have tried, this book gives you real answers and provides real solutions to everyday problems and challenges that all parents face. I am applying the concepts Mac discusses in his book and already seeing positive results at home with my children. Thank you Mac Bledsoe.

What a Terrific Book! November 27, 2002
Format:Hardcover
Parenting With Dignity is one of the best written books I have ever read. You will be amazed at the parenting philosphies that will help you in raising your children....whether you are just enhancing your own parenting skills or if you are at your wit's end with different parenting techniques that do not work for your child. Mac is a wonderful speaker and that has definitely crossed over into his writing. You will enjoy the personal details of Mac's life as you find they will relate to you and your own children. You won't want to put the book down until you have read through it once....then keep going back for repetition! This world will be a better place if all of us parents read and act on what we have learned!

Read It February 1, 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book is all about making your parenting life more enriching. It advocates backing off a little and letting your kids learn. I have enjoyed my kids much more since I learned to let go a little. I have been so tired of hearing about how spanking your kids, excessive timeouts, taking away stuff, rules, rules, and more rules, etc. is going to teach your kid something. It doesn't. This book outlines what works instead. It's right up there with Dr. Sears' The Discipline Book in my parenting arsenal. Drop Dobson and Ezzo and give Mac Bledsoe's book a chance. There is a more dignified way to parent.

note: David didn't write this. I did(Elizabeth Mechem). I can't get David's profile off this computer!!!

Good framework for developing a philisophical parenting approach
This book is written from a layman's view of parenting so it was a bit off-putting to me at times due to the lack of basis for theory. Read more
