"I love Rosemond's old-fashioned ideas for raising children and have done my best to use them. The things he says and the results he gets are just too common sense to ignore."
"This was not as interesting, in the first half, as the "Six-Point Plan" book, concentrating mostly on politics, policies, and history, as well as why other people in the "helping" professions think the author is horrible, and why he's not. Additionally, the book could have used a copy-editor who knows the difference between "principle" and "principal" and between "site" and "cite."
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the stories of what worked. I like the line drawn from teaching children to respect the authority of parents so that that authority can then be transferred to a healthy respect of God. Reading one passage in the book made me realize that God seems to use the ideas of family put forth in this book on His children.
Also, I wish I could go back and do a better job of growing up, knowing what I do now. It's hard to just jump in and improve myself."
"Brilliant book. In this day and age of all the new fangled advice about parenting, this book boils it down to common sense, practical application, back to basics wisdom. It gives you permission to be the parent you know you should be, but the world argues you shouldn't."
