"If you're concerned about the negative effect popular culture is having on America's children, and you want to know what you can do to prevent your child from falling under its sway, then you need to read this book and you need to do what Jill Rigby says, because she's right -- and that's all there is to it." John Rosemond -- Author, Family Building: The Five Fundamentals of Effective Parenting

5.0 out of 5 stars Seasoned Advice for Every Parent, November 18, 2006

By 

W. Terry Whalin "Publisher/ Editor / Writer" (Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World (Motherhood Club) (Paperback)

Across the country with her Manners of the Heart program, Jill Rigby has taught and lived the lessons in RAISING RESPECTFUL CHILDREN IN A DISRESPECTFUL WORLD. This book is a powerful mixture of personal stories, careful research and applicable information for parents. The basic principles in this book such as Coach: Don't Cheerlead; Set Boundaries without Building Walls; Use Discipline, Not Punishment; Engage, Don't Entertain; Teach Gratefulness, Not Greediness; and Listen to the Children are solid. Each chapter includes a "Reality Check" for the reader to apply the teaching to their own family.

I expect parents will read and re-read this book because it's loaded with valuable insight.

If only every parent could have this book. I could not put it down. I applied what I read and noticed immediate results. I get a lot of comments on how polite my three year old is. This book taught me realistic ways to teach my child respect and it has made my life so much more enjoyable.

This review is from: Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World (Motherhood Club) (Paperback)

I read this book in one sitting and have constantly referred to pages I have earmarked for guidance.It is practical and helps parents be better parents and the end result is better children. We all have seen how disrespectful the majority of kids are today and with Ms. Rigby's book, I think we can all benefit from this and help our kids become responsible, delightful adults.
