Raising Children That Other People Like to Be Around Description
Your daughter is dying her black hair fuschia. After eight years of cello lessons, your child prodigy says, “I quit.” You ask “What am I doing wrong?” The parenting process is designed to succeed, yet millions of parents wonder if they’re doing things “right.” After raising four kids over thirty years, Richard Greenberg shows how tapping into the common sense you already have is the first key to parenting. This book gives parents an overview of the process while offering specific suggestions and guidelines to reduce conflict between parents and their kids, improve communication within any family, and replace the stress of parenting with true common sense. “Teaching children respect means showing respect for ourselves. It’s not easy to live an ‘exemplary’ life, but trying really hard to do so is exactly what being a parent is. None of us are perfect, but every day we have opportunities to show our kids the high road not only in our expectations of them, but in our expectations of ourselves.” – R Greenberg.

Richard Greenberg has written a wide-ranging real world guide to modern parenting with a specific issue as a starting point. We all want our kids to feel valued and loved but we also want (or should want) kids to understand that they're not the only people in the world. So kids' feelings should be respected, and kids should also respect the feelings of other people, whether it's their brothers and sisters or an older couple at the next table in a restaurant. Making this happen takes neither boot camp discipline or New Age permissiveness. It does require what the author calls common sense. What "common sense" parenting really means is made very clear in this book. I learned a lot from it.
By Mr. Buffo
If you follow the advice in this book you will have polite respectful kids who can also think for themselves. I liked especially the chapter about respect. I also liked the idea of getting down on your knees to be at the toddler's level to communicate. Clear cut examples are helpful to any parent no matter the age of their children.
