Product Description

Product Description

Some parents make it look so easy.

They are eternally calm, have great relationships with their kids, and seem to have parenting down to a fine art. But is this really possible? How do they do it? Have you ever wondered what makes them so good?

These parents do many things right but have one thing in common. They know The Rules of Parenting. The set of golden behaviours that help you to help your kids look after themselves, enjoy life, be caring and kind, and help you to enjoy the whole experience too.

The Rules of Parenting is the reassuring support that thousands have been searching for. You don’t have to be a perfect parent, and you don’t have to have perfect children; this book will tell you why.

Templar’s simple rules will reveal the small things that you can do to make a big difference; the behaviours, the motivations, the ways of thinking that will help you through both the early and later years of

parenting. None of them guarantee success, but they all increase your chances of bringing up happy, healthy children. And they will all show you how to remain sane, keep your sense of humour and be a great parent; after all, it’s an important job to get right.

The Rules of Parenting puts everything in perspective and you in control. A simple set of principles and behaviours that will guide you smoothly through the challenge of being a parent.



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?

5.0 out of 5 stars At last..., 16 Jan 2008
The best book for parents and grandparents of all ages!

I found this book by chance and I am really pleased that I did! Here is a book which doesn't patronise, yet is very clear in its treatment of the subject. This is not a book which tells you how to ease colic or to deal with sleepless nights, but a book to help children grow into well-rounded adults. How many parents would have welcomed such a book over the years? Templar is able to get his views across in a down-to-earth humorous manner, in easily manageable sections. I have shown it to many people and the response has been amazing, so much so that I have just ordered four more copies to pass on to people who expressed interest. A wonderful gift for new parents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice companion book, 12 Jan 2009
I have five children, and I made up the parenting rules as I go along. Of course, when I wanted to write a chapter on parenting in my book, Live Patanjali! Yoga Wisdom for Everyday Living: 1, I scrabbled around looking for books on parenting.

Templar's book is lovely. It doesn't tell you the mechanics of parenting, but what it is is a book that reassures you with the voice of reason. 99% of the book is common-sense, but we all need reminding sometimes, especially when we are wrapped up in our own drama. You might not agree with all the rules, but hey, it is always good to have someone gently putting another way across to you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice, 7 Feb 2009
By J. B. Bridge (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book gives very sensible advice on parenting. It makes it clear that even the best parents are going to get things wrong occasionally and you have to have a sense of proportion and not be toohard on yourselves. The advice is aimed at making you realise that children are separate people and won't be exactly as you would like them to be. Sometimes you have to let them learn from their own mistakes. It covers teenagers too.
