Everyone knows that good parenting requires the strict and constant use of rules that can never, ever be broken?except when necessary. The Twelve Unbreakable Rules of Parenting was inspired by the problems encountered by author Ann Lang O?Connor when deciding how best to raise her children with a strong foundation of faith. In her attempts to find a sense of direction, she developed twelve core principles to provide a systematic way to make decisions on tough issues and day-to-day questions. She writes in her introduction, ?I determined that, out of the thousands of things that I could choose to focus on as a parent, these were the principles on which I wanted to center my energy and attention, so I could let all of the rest go without regret."

It is often said that children do not come with instruction manuals, so discovering how they function, what they can do, and why they act the way they do always remains mysterious, subject to parental suspicions and speculations. This book attempts to cut through the complexity of details by offering parents a set of basic principles that can be applied broadly to specific situations parents encounter in the process of raising their children. It does not attempt to offer all the answers because no book can do that, but in the focus on principles it hopes to create an awareness of the nature of parenthood. It hopes to show that parenting need not be daunting nor terrifying and can be fulfilling and effective. Parents can be good for children, and children can make their parents proud.

Most parents do a pretty good job of raising kids, says psychologist Laurence Steinberg, but truly effective parenting means not just relying on natural instincts but also on knowing what works and why. In The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting, Dr. Steinberg distills decades of research into a parenting book that explains the fundamentals of raising happy, healthy children, giving readers an invaluable map to help them navigate parenthood from infancy to adolescence. Dr. Steinberg found that the basic principles for effective parenting are simple and universal, and apply to all parents and children regardless of background. He explains each principle and shows how to put it into action, using anecdotes and examples: from “What You Do Matters” (parents make an enormous difference; children are not simply the product of their genes) to “Establish Rules and Limits” (how to provide structure in your child's life, and how to handle conflicts over rules) and “Help Foster Your Child's Independence” (help your child think through decisions instead of making them for him or her). Concise and authoritative, written with warmth and compassion, The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting is an intelligent guide to raising a happy, healthy child and to becoming a happier, more confident parent in the process.

This book will help you learn to set firm boundaries while remaining a loving parent. You will learn how to apply the 12 essential tools to help your children develop greater responsibility, discipline and self-esteem. It will help you define rules and consequences appropriate to your child's developmental level and you will understand why and how important this is.Parents are the main characters in the child's life, and we have our greatest impact in the first years of their lives as mediating agents for their learning and education.Within the integral development of the child, some research shows that parents and the environment in which their children are raised, are the ones that help shape their personality and provide them with the main tools to develop at a personal and interpersonal level in their present and future. The lessons they learn as children will help them in the social sphere.Parents as mediators, help to form values, norms and rules of behavior that will affect the child throughout his life. These principles will help him in making decisions and will create in him a self-awareness of how to act in a variety of situations.Don't worry, the role of parent is developed and learned, it is formed with the birth and growth of children. How the task of parenting is carried out can be learned from other adults and role models. Education can vary by culture and our own way of thinking and seeing the world.In today's society it is even more necessary than in the past to pay close attention to emotions, that is, to listen to, respect and give importance to what a child feels instead of focusing on his or her intellectual capacity. Few parents focus on their children developing a healthy emotional state. For the present of their lives and for their future, it is not enough to have an intelligent child if he or she is not emotionally stable and has low self-esteem.

While standing in the checkout line at one of the nation's largest discount stores, author Doug Peine observed the antics of a toddler defying his exasperated mother by refusing to put back a candy bar and throwing an all-out temper tantrum. It is a scene played out in stores and homes all across America every day: children manipulating their parents who haplessly try to fix the behavioral problems with misguided attempts at discipline culled from an endless parade of "experts." In this simple yet eloquent book, Peine shows readers that, in spite of the vast wealth of knowledge on childrearing and child psychology, parents are more confused than ever because much of the material is too complicated and often contradictory. A parent himself, Peine provides two simple truths: 1) there is at work among those who parent well, a fundamental common sense; and 2) this common sense can be briefly stated and readily grasped by anyone. He has most readily observed these truths while waiting in line, where mini dramas in the parent-child struggle are often played out. The same obvious parenting mistakes occur as sure as the moon follows the sun. In It's Not that Complicated readers will learn twelve easy-to-follow rules that just might make their jobs easier. They include: mean what you say; do not force your child to make decisions; and read to your child every night before bed. These are simple truths that we usually forget. All parents want the same things: for their kids to be happy, disciplined and compassionate toward and respectful of others. Busy, stressed-out parents will find solace in the simplicity of this book and learn that the most effective way to deal with their children is often in their own hearts.
