There are many fine books of sound advice on the practical aspects of child-rearing. “Exemplary Parenting” stands apart as unique. Mr. Jones’ focus is on data amassed during the last three decades, a veritable new world of vital information, and he spotlights the psychological ramifications of both current and past child-rearing methods. From the evolution of child-rearing over the last millennium, to our present dilemma, to methods for healing old relational wounds, his suggestions of methods, tactics, attitudes, and behaviors give parents the tools to ensure their children develop free of psychological limitations.In his review of this book Robert M. Jones, Ed.D, Professor and Chair, Educational Foundations at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, who is not related to the author, stated, "I recommend this book highly for two reasons. First, it presents good, solid advice on the process of authoritative parenting. Second, I believe the book has great value as a series of readings for teachers and other practitioners who interact with children and their parents...this book [goes] far beyond the parenting advice columns into new territory."

Introduction I chose to write this book because of the pain I’ve seen in the heart of parents who have placed their child/children in child care centers that did not have the best interest of children at heart. These parents hurt deeply because they placed and even paid money on a weekly basis to have their child in a program that was not respecting the child. I like to call these programs child farms because their interest is not in helping to develop, grow, and nurture children but to make money off children. One mother could barely speak as she told me her story. She had asked her father to pick her son up from his family child care home and take him to the doctor. When the grandpa arrived, he knocked on the door, but nobody answered. He could hear babies inside the house crying, but it did not appear that anyone was inside caring for the children. Grandpa sat on the porch and waited for someone to come, all the while he could hear the babies inside crying. A while later the caregiver pulled up in the driveway with Wal-Mart bags in her hands. When grandpa told her whom he was there to pick up, she let him have the baby and did not even check his identification. He could have been anyone picking up that child. The mother set up a watch with the county police and the Department of Social Services for the next morning. Parents brought children into the home and left. About thirty minutes after the last child was dropped off, the caregiver came out of the house, locked the door, and got into her car. As she pulled out of her driveway, she was arrested. Parents were contacted to pick up their children. The caregiver was putting the children in their cribs and then leaving the house to go shopping and run errands. Another parent had her six-month infant get a broken arm. Another parent had her four-month infant die—death certificate said SIDS, but the child was dead for over two hours before anyone knew. These are scary stories, and there are many more. We’ve all seen these in the news, but I’ve personally sat face-to-face with some parents who have suffered through this devastating situation. Their common statement was “How does a parent know a good center from a child farm?” How does a parent know? And so it goes, I wrote the book. I hope this book will be useful to you as you begin to research child care programs for your child. Follow your heart. Look deep if it feels good. Leave and do not turn back if something makes you feel bad. Your feelings will be your best guide. As you tour programs, write notes in the note sections and try to complete the ratings as you feel them while you are touring a program. After touring several programs, the program-rating pages will help you to remember the qualities you liked best about each program. Remember, high-quality child care and education programs are difficult to get into. You will probably be put on a waiting list, so it is important to start your search for child care early. The earlier the better! I used to tell parents, “Call me when the stick turns blue.”

Book Review

Experienced teachers set out to build the next generation of readers. Together, Houghton and Ohanesian have more than 50 years of teaching experience - specifically in reading. In this short guide targeted at children up to the age of five, they seek to provide parents with some basic knowledge to build eager and confident readers. The authors, never condescending and always encouraging, provide developmental benchmarks and offer advice for fostering early reading skills. Part parenting manual, part tutorial, the book doesn't get bogged down in preachy language. Simple advice and bullet points make up the bulk of the text, which is divided into six segments based on age (0-3 months, 3-6 months, etc.) The authors do clearly offer suggested reading lists for each age group. A good starting point for new or less-experienced parents hoping to put their children on a solid educational path.

No Description Available.

Why did I write this book? I wanted to describe how children of various ages think and feel. What better opportunity could I have had than to be able to communicate with my thirteen grandchildren. My wife, Britta, and I are fortunate to have six of them living in the same community as us. These grandchildren: I get to see them often. We go on overnight hikes and work out together Sunday mornings. Four of our grandchildren live six hundred miles away in Indianapolis. We only see them three times a year. Once a year we rent a cottage together somewhere on the beach. Three others live in Jerusalem. We see them once a year. Whenever we visit we all go to a resort together for a few days. I do speak with all my grandchildren on the phone at least once a month; although only some are old enough to carry on a little meaningful conversation. Some adults have the mistaken belief that children are just little adults and that they think like adults do. A motivation for this book was to test the hypothesis was true. As you might hypothesize this proofed not to be true. A major part of this book represents an interview with each of my grandchildren dealing with various aspects of the children’s lives. This I believe has been the case. Furthermore, I included my diaries of two trips my wife and I took with some of my grandchildren: one with my oldest grandson to the Grand Canyon, and the other site seeing to Washington, D.C. with three of the grandchildren. These diaries contain different responses made by the children after different experiences. Lastly I included a section called “Gems” which represents truly precious comments different children had made. This three pronged presentation,, the question and answer portion, the gems, the diaries of trips we made together, should provide insight into the thinking of children in general, or at least my grandchildren. What is reasonable to conclude from this book about my thirteen grandchildren? All children are different is once again confirmed. This, of course, everyone knows but sometimes forgets. Therefore generalizations were difficult but individual characteristics were worthy to mention. Some features that were clearly demonstrated are: honest stating of views, a sense of humor, social consciousness and a sense of responsibility. In writing this book two conclusions come to mind with firm conviction. One is that children’s views are worthy of adult attention and it can be great fun for a grandfather to interact with his grandchildren.

There are no perfect solutions to keeping our children safe.However, prayerfully seeking God first before starting anyof the topics, I thank Him for aiding and directing my thoughts in the writing of this book. Instilling good moral values, teaching children to love and reverence our Heavenly Father. Building their self-esteem. Also, strengthening their trust in parents. A ‘protection prayer’ to pray over them, in addition to adolescent eating disorders. Coping with death, and many more topics are covered.

This book consist of simple instructions, if followed, that will assist the young Mother in rearing her child to be an individual that anyone wiould be proud to be in his/her presence.

The first month begins with the training period, this is the most important time for both Mother and child.

With prayer, thanksgiving and these instructions, this will be a successful experience.
