Synopsis
In ten well honed chapters, the book focuses on Mama Rock's rules for parenting, with each chapter covering a specific parenting issue and containing stories from Rose Rock's own childhood and parenting experiences. A former teacher, day care administrator and informed advocate for youth and families, Rose Rock writes with a kicky blend of maternal spirituality and a 'don't mess with me or you won't get old' sense of authority, explaining why parenting and friendship are different, as well as discussing the importance of boundaries, discipline, choices and consequences. This is a parenting book written by a mother who does not shy away from the hard conversations, and isn't afraid to present strong ideas about sex, love, and responsibility. As her daughter Andi Rock says, 'She keeps it real, she keeps it too real.' Mama Rock's advice, drawn from all of her experiences, will inspire and entertain parents and grandparents - whether their brood is one child or ten.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. "To be a parent is and should be a calling. There is absolutely nothing as great, challenging, or rewarding as raising a child." So says Über-mom Rose Rock, who has raised 10 children in addition to caring for 17 foster children in her 40-plus years as a mother. As a mother who does not shy away from the hard conversations, Rose isn't afraid to present strong ideas about boundaries, discipline, choices, and consequences--and she tells it like it is. In Mama Rock's Rules, Rose shares the funny and highly practical lessons she learned both as a parent and an educator, while offering strategies for teaching a child to be self-reliant in this world. Written with a kicky blend of maternal spirituality and a "don't mess with me or you won't get old" sense of authority, the book spotlights 10 vital rules, each tackling a specific parenting issue. From "I Am Your Mama, Not Your Friend," which helps parents regain their authority and establish respectful relationships with their children, to "Don't Lie Down with Anything You Don't Want to Live with Forever," which takes a different approach to the often tricky conversation about sex, each topic is lovingly explained and bolstered by stories from Rose Rock's own childhood and parenting experiences. We will also hear from her own kids, as they share memories and anecdotes about what it was like to grow up in the Rock household. Rose's heartfelt and no-nonsense advice--delivered with a dose of wit and homespun humor--will resonate with thousands of parents and will inspire them to teach their kids right, whether their brood is one child or ten.
