I Highly Recommend...



It has completely and totally changed my perspective on parenting. After reading this, I feel like I'm spending less energy getting my kids to behave- and it really works. I have my two year old doing things that absolutely amaze me. It really does teach what it says- how to parent as Christ would. In fact, as you implement the principles like patience, joy, love, and non-reviling, you actually become more Christlike yourself and your children behave so much better in the process- killing two birds with one stone! If you haven't already read this, please pick up a copy- it will definitely be worth your while. I just cannot say enough good things about it...


PS- You can buy it online at Deseretbook.com- I'm not sure if the guy is LDS or not so it might be at regular bookstores. I actually bought mine at Amazon.com.

Do I need to go to the church bookstore to get it? Does it have a chapter about raising a punk?

Thanks for the great reccommend!! i will totally get on amazon and look for it.
i feel like most of the time i am just losing my patience. and mostly, i want to teach my children to LIKE me , not Fear me. Pres. Hinckley had an article (RIP) in the ensign not too long ago about teaching your little ones. it said "Teach your children to love being with you, not to fear you" or something like that.
so i have been looking for ways to do that too.
thanks!!! ill let you know what i think.

I'm Jill's sis-in-law, and though I typically don't comment on folks I haven't met yet, I just had to add that I love Dr. Latham's philosophy and have so enjoyed his work.

But what really made me have to comment was how beautiful your blog's photography is! I especially love the shots of your after church adventure. Thanks for the great blog :)

Rachel, I checked this book out at the public library and I am enjoying it. Thank you for the recommendation! After reading, I got the feeling that the guy is LDS and found this article online about him.

Thanks again!! (By the way, I am Mike Davis' wife, in case you didn't make the connection.)

Rachel, if I can't find this at the library, can I borrow it? I'm cheap like that (and broke).
