Free Book (Kindle) - A Family of Value

A Family of Value, by John Rosemond, is free on Kindle tonight. The publisher, Andrews McMeel Publishing, has classified this under Family Relationships and Christian Living.

Book Description
A critical view of the child care literature of the past quarter century argues for an end to overindulgent parenting and a return to the goal of instilling moral values, such as responsibility, respectfulness, and resourcefulness.

About the Author
John Rosemond is a family psychologist who has both directed mental health programs and been in full-time private practice working with families and children. Since 1990, he has devoted his time to speaking and writing. John's weekly syndicated parenting column now appears in some 250 newspapers. Along the way, he's also managed to write eleven bestselling books on parenting and the family. As if that wasn't enough, he is one of the busiest and most popular speakers in his field, giving over 200 talks a year to parent and professional groups nationwide. He and his wife of 39 years, Willie, have two grown children and six well-behaved grandchildren.

Sounds like a good read. I don't understand people saying that corporal punishment (spanking) translates to abuse myself. I was spanked as a child when I did something to deserve it and learned not to get into trouble. IMO a spanking (with the empty hand) doesn't cause any real damage and helps set a child straight so they learn that there are boundaries. When the parents hands are tied though then the kids tend to start thinking they can do as they please, and juvenile problems rise as a result.
