Countryside continued the tradition this fall of bringing in a well known speaker to present to Countryside parents and the community. We were educated and entertained by John Rosemond the author of "Bringing out the Best in your Child."
John Rosemond is one of a handful of parenting experts who promote a truly traditional approach to raising children. John is a family psychologist with more than 35 years experience working with parents to improve the quality of life in their families. His nationally-syndicated newspaper column appears in more than 200 newspapers and has more than 10 million readers. In 1989, John's Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children was published by Andrews McMeel. It rapidly became a best-seller. Since then, he has written twelve more parenting classics, including Parenting by The Book, published by Howard Books in 2007.
John is also one of America's most in-demand speakers on parenting and family issues. He gives more than 200 presentations a year to parent and professional groups all over the USA (see Speaking Schedule for upcoming talks), and is known as an entertaining and engaging speaker.
"You can't teach a child how to act without also teaching the child what you want him to think. It's called passing on your values, which you cannot do by mincing either words or action." - John Rosemond
