I loved the simplicity of this book most of all. It is approachable and easy to read and not "I know more than you so I will share what I know" as some parenting books are. There is a reminder given at the end of each section that there are no rules and that parents should follow the Holy Ghost and use prayer first and foremost to know how to best raise their children. I love this reminder - isn't it easy to read parenting books and then try to implement everything (too much!), only to get frustrated when you realize it wasn't the best method for your particular youngster?
There are wonderful stories from the author's childhood on a dairy farm and from others he knows that teach great principles about hard work, the safety in having boundaries, and other important topics for parents to consider when raising righteous children. I love how well he adds words from Latter-day prophets with words of scripture to really make the teachings he shares applicable to our day and any age of child.
I would love to share this book with one reader in an electronic format. Leave a comment below telling what your favorite scripture is that has helped you in parenting, or a great parenting technique you have used or heard of. I'll choose a winner at random in one week!
