6 Point Plan For Raising Happy Healthy Children

by John Rosemonds

Contemporary parents have been sold a bill of goods on quality time. They've come to believe that children require constant attention. In his Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children , psychologist John Rosemond, a columnist for Knight-Ridder and Better Homes and Gardens and author of Parent Power! , reveals that being a good parent is really about helping children get out of our lives! As a husband, father, and therapist, Rosemond knows that parents can't give their children what they don't have. They need an abundant supply of self-esteem and happiness in order to share it. Rosemond offers an easy-to-follow plan that will start parents and children on the road to living lives of their own: Put your marriage first. Expect your children to obey. Establish responsibility by assigning chores. Don't be afraid to tell your children "no". Eliminate unnecessary toys. Encourage creativity by minimizing TV viewing. John Rosemond's plan will begin a lifelong process of freeing parents from the guilt, exhaustion, and anger undermining today's family and free children to lead happy, responsible lives of their own.

كتاب ممتاز في التربية يحوي خطة محددة لتنشئة أطفال سعداء وأصحاء مكونة من ٦ خطوات :
🍃 *اهتم بزواجك*
🍃 *توقع الطاعة من أطفالك وكن حازمًا في اتخاذ القرارات وجدير بالثقة.*
🍃 *اجعل أطفالك يتحملون المسؤولية بتكليفهم بمهمات منزلية.*
🍃 *اعط أطفالك جرعات من "فيتامين الإحباط"*
🍃 *قلل من الألعاب الغير ضرورية، ودعهم يلعبوا اللعب الحر الذي ينمي الخيال والإبداع، واقرأ لطفلك كل يوم لمدة ٣٠ دقيقة على الأقل*
🍃 *احرم أطفالك من التلفاز والأجهزة المشابهة في سنوات نموهم حتى لا يدمنوا التلفاز وآثاره السلبية.*

الكتاب جميل جاء على طريقة أسئلة يطرحها الآباء والأمهات، ويجيب عنها الكاتب المتخصص في علم النفس.


🌠 *اقتباسات*
🔸السر في تربية أطفال سعداء وأصحاء هو توجيه المزيد من الاهتمام لزواجك بدلًا من توجيه الاهتمام للأطفال.

🔸الطفل الذي يشاهد التلفاز لا يفعل شيئا ينمي مهاراته على الإطلاق. ومشاهدة التلفاز تحرم الطفل فرصة الاكتشاف والاستمتاع بتنمية مواهبه وإمكانياته الطبيعية.

Quick read (listen). Not your “traditional” in today’s standards raising children book. Rosmond reaches back to the days before rampantly available TV and media. I read the 1985 version, however he does have a more current revised version.
I like his approach - simple and common sense. No earth shattering approaches were shared with me during this book...I feel like my parents were onboard with his take on raising kids.
Audiobook is read by him - he sounds like he’s lecturing - which I thought was fine.
I’d recommend if you’re at the end of your rope and have chaos at home. This would help save your sanity.

Immediately after I finished the book, I restarted it with my husband. Already after just one chapter, we’ve started to implement somethings he mentions and I’ve changed my viewpoint on a few things. Very simple yet helpful.
