r Raising a Household of Successful Children is written by Rose Rock, the mother of famous comedian Chris Rock, of Everybody Hates Chris fame. We love that show! Rose Rock raised a houseful of successful kids, so she certainly can write a book about raising successful kids! Most people think we are super strict, but really we don't have a lot of "rules" but we do expect a lot, maybe.
One of the things that I related to and will probably print and frame is
Rule #1: I am the parent. I make the rules.
Rule #2: You are the child. You follow the rules.
Rule #3: Any problems, refer to Rule #1.
Oh, yeah! Get tough! I am not quite that tough, but I used to be, before being done having kids and then starting over in my 30's. This book is just what I need to stop being my kids' friend and to get in touch with my Big Bad Wolf!
This parenting book published by HarperCollins is great for any parent. Balance discipline with love and common sense.
Book Info:
"To be a parent is and should be a calling. There is absolutely nothing as great, challenging, or rewarding as raising a child." So says Über-mom Rose Rock, who has raised 10 children in addition to caring for 17 foster children in her 40-plus years as a mother.
As a mother who does not shy away from the hard conversations, Rose isn't afraid to present strong ideas about boundaries, discipline, choices, and consequences—and she tells it like it is. In Mama Rock's Rules, Rose shares the funny and highly practical lessons she learned both as a parent and an educator, while offering strategies for teaching a child to be self-reliant in this world.
Written with a kicky blend of maternal spirituality and a "don't mess with me or you won't get old" sense of authority, the book spotlights 10 vital rules, each tackling a specific parenting issue. From "I Am Your Mama, Not Your Friend," which helps parents regain their authority and establish respectful relationships with their children, to "Don't Lie Down with Anything You Don't Want to Live with Forever," which takes a different approach to the often tricky conversation about sex, each topic is lovingly explained and bolstered by stories from Rose Rock's own childhood and parenting experiences. We will also hear from her own kids, as they share memories and anecdotes about what it was like to grow up in the Rock household.
Rose's heartfelt and no-nonsense advice—delivered with a dose of wit and homespun humor—will resonate with thousands of parents and will inspire them to teach their kids right, whether their brood is one child or ten.
