Product Description

Do you have the nagging feeling that the parenting method you've been using just isn't working?

From the Publisher

You Can Raise Good Kids in a Troubled World!

It takes more than discipline to raise good kids. It takes a whole different approach to parenting. This is a book that could revolutionize the way you interact with your children. It's a book for everyone who has a nagging feeling that the approach to parenting they've been using for years just isn't working. It's also a book for parents of young children - parents who hope to avoid some of the problems they see in other families.

Ross Campbell, a loved and long-respected psychiatrist whose books have been read by millions, contends that parenting is about something much bigger than just behavior control. Parenting is about helping your child to eventually take responsibility for his or her own behavior. It is a long-range approach to parenting which recognizes that children are intricate personalities - and that your reaction to specific behaviors will profoundly affect your child's self-concept, relationships, and even their eternal soul. This is a book about parenting that anticipates, not just reacts.

With warm wisdom and insightful stories, Dr. Campbell addresses the four foundations of effective parenting: -Meeting the emotional and nuturance needs of your child -Giving loving training and discipline to your child -Providing physical and emotional protection to your child -Teaching and modeling anger management to your child

If you're looking to become a more relational, proactive parent, here is a book that will show you how. You - and your child - will be grateful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific reading for Christian parents., March 4, 2000
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
In Relational Parenting, Dr. Ross Campbell teaches Christian parents how to build relationships with their children by anticipating the child's needs, rather than merely reacting to the child's behavior. Dr. Campbell asserts that the underpinning of a genuinely meaningful relationship with a child is unconditional love. Only this will nurture the child emotionally and spiritually. It is also essential for the Christian parent to understand that discipline is not synonymous with punishment. A parent's consistent expression of love must adapt to the age and developing personality of the child, and consists of meeting their emotional and nurturance needs, giving them loving training and discipline, providing physical and emotional protection, teaching and modeling anger management. Relational Parenting offers a common sense alternative to the traditional behavior modification approach of secular parenting. Relational Parenting is highly recommended reading for all who are anticipating or newly experiencing parenthood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Transform the Way You Relate to your Child, March 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the fourth book I've read by Dr.Campbell, and each of his books repeat the same concepts, but with variations in word-use, and differences in focus. Regardless, I like the fact that each book reinterates the same, doable, logical and recallable points that I was able to apply immediately. My goal is to be so familiar w/ Dr. C's techniques that it flows out of me naturally, that it becomes a part of me.

Since starting his books, including this one, I've been able to manage my anger during tense, frustrating moments, I've been able to identify my children's needs more objectively and act accordingly. I've searched for opportunities to give my children what they inherently need before they start "acting up." The peace and pattern of our home since then has been dramatic.

In a nutshell, this book discusses HOW to fill a child's emotional tank since the majority of bad behavior stems from an empty tank. That entails positive eye contact, physical touch and focused attention. Then he stresses that discipline is not punishment but training. And you can train by example, role modeling, verbal instruction, written requests, teaching, and during play. He discussed how adults are to respond to misbehavior. That is, by asking yourself what does my child need? Is his emotional tank low? Is he okay physically (not ill or tired)? Then you can decide if child is truly misbehaving, which he calls defiance. He defined true misbehavior as being out of control, being defiant and challenging parental authority, all of which is not to be tolerated. Then he went on to explain the various ways of controlling behavior, the best and first method to attempt is to make a request (can you please clean that up?), then commands, then gental physical manipulation (leading toddler away from the fire), then punishment, and lastly behavioral modification. He urges parents to be proactive rather than reactive. To explain your reasonings to your children, as well as the sequence of your thought processes so they can relate to you better and learn as well. He also went into dealing with your child's anger, and to see it as an opportunity to train, and not to get reactively angry back at your child.

There's so much more in the book, but those were some of the points I've outlined in the back of the book for quick reference as a refresher. I wish that all would-be parents and already parents would read this book. When I look at my past mistakes that could have been avoided, and opportunities lost where I could have used as training moments, I wished that I had read the book before.

Awesome book. A must read, for the sake of your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars a "must read" book, November 17, 2009
By SamiHIan (Centennial, CO) - See all my reviews
Ross Campbell (How to Really Love/How to Really Parent) is one of the few authors who really "get it" as far as child rearing/adult self-help goes!! Biblical, balanced, easy to read; he's the best! I also love Susan Forward (Toxic Parents/Emotional Blackmail), Martha Heineman Pieper/William J. Pieper (Addicted to Unhappiness/Smart Love), and Alice Miller (For Your Own Good).

2.0 out of 5 stars dissapointed
As a Christian parent, I was dissapointed in this book. I believe Dr Campbell is correct with his concepts...but there were not nearly enough clear, practical examples for me. Read more
