There are lots of wrong ways to bring up your kids, but there are lots of right ones, too. There's no list of instructions you have to follow to the letter if you don't want your child to end up a loser. The Rules of Parenting presents the principles to follow which you can adapt to suit you and your children. Beginning with the first rule "Relax" and continuing through 100 rules, this book presents a guide to everything a parent needs to know from toddling, school, boyfriends or girlfriends, through driving lessons and college. The book begins with a section that covers the most important rules, The Rules for Staying Sane. The rest of the sections cover the some of the big questions of parenting, including the Attitude Rules, the Discipline Rules, the Sibling Rules, the School Rules, the Teenage Rules, the Crisis Rules, all the way up to the Grown-up Rules.

From the Back Cover:

THE RULES OF PARENTING

A personal code for bringing up happy, confident children

 

Some parents make it all look easy.They always seem to know the right things to do and say, however tricky the situation. They have a seemingly instinctive ability to raise happy, confident, well-balanced children.

 

Is there something they know that we don’t? Is it something that we could learn? The answer is a resounding yes. They know The Rules of Parenting.

 

The Rules of Parenting are the golden principles and behaviours that will guide you smoothly through the challenges of raising children. They will help your children to handle themselves well, enjoy life, respect others, be decent and thoughtful, and to stand up for what they believe in.  You’ll get more out of being a parent, and they’ll become all they can be.

 

The Rules of Parenting puts everything in perspective, you in control and your children on the path to becoming successful, independent adults.

 

There’s no job more important than being a parent. How good could you be?
