F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules, Inc. was established by Dr. Matthew A. Johnson to provide parents with the information necessary to train up their children in the way they should go so when they are older, they won’t depart from it. F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules promotes positive parenting via positive role-modeling and parental accountability. “Monkey see - Monkey do” is taken to a whole new level!

Although there is a lot of great information out there about parenting, no parenting book packages the tools for parenting in a systematic approach of organization and structure like Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules. Great information about parenting is of little value if you don’t have a fool-proof method of implementation in the home. F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is thorough! F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is appropriate for the most normal family, the most dysfunctional family, and all other families in between. It truly is a “one-size fits all” parenting system!!!

Dr. Matthew A. Johnson has taught F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules to several thousand families via his private practice and seminars. He has taught F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules to physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, teachers, probation officers, child protective service workers, and pastors. He constantly receives feedback that F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is the next best discovery since sliced bread.

If you are looking for a parenting book that will help you to stop arguing with your spouse and children, increase your children’s compliance with your expectations, and get the house clean at the same time, then you need to attend a F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules seminar and/or purchase Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules.

“Daddy, I’d like you to meet my children.”

That’s Robbie Castleman’s attitude about taking her children to church. Sunday morning isn’t a success if we have only managed to keep the kids quiet. There’s more to church for kids than trying out their new coloring books. Children are at church for the same reason as Mom and Dad: for the privilege of worshiping God.

Because we are created to praise God both now and forever, we must take our children’s worship seriously. Worship, Robbie writes, is “the most important thing you can ever train your child to do.” With infectious passion, nitty-gritty advice and a touch of humor, she shows us how we can help our children (from toddlers to teenagers) enter into worship.

This expanded edition includes two new appendixes on the important issues of hyperactive children in worship and children’s church for seekers. It also provides a study guide for personal reflection or group discussion. More than ever, Parenting in the Pew is essential reading for parents and worship leaders who want to help children make joyful noises to the Lord.

“Robbie Castleman does wonders in this book! Her biblically grounded theology and experientially tested practical ideas give us wonderful suggestions that deepen our own participation in worship, even while we help children truly worship instead of merely keeping quiet. This book is essential-for pastors, Sunday school teachers, youth leaders, parents and every other member of the congregation (since we all are responsible for forming the church’s offspring). The Christian community could be changed by this book; read it avidly and give it to everyone you know.” Marva J. Dawn, author of Is It a Lost Cause?

PARENTING TEENS FOR THE REAL WORLD.

When kids hit their teen years, parenting takes on a whole new dimension. As they struggle toward independence and autonomy, some dicey issues emerge. And the real world you want them to be ready for can make you shudder-kids today face life-and-death decisions long before they’re on their own.

So what do you do? Hover over them so they won’t get hurt? Drill them so they’ll do the right thing? According to Jim Fay and Foster Cline, hovering and drilling won’t prepare teens for the real world. Because they learn responsibility like they learn everything else: through practice.

That’s where love-and-logic parenting comes in. Love means giving your teens opportunities to be responsible and empowering them to make their own decisions. Logic means allowing them to live with the natural consequences of their mistakes-and showing empathy for the pain, disappointment, and frustration they’ll experience.

When you parent with love and logic, it’s a win-win situation. You win because you’ll learn to love in a healthy way and effectively guide your teens, without resorting to anger, threats, and power struggles that will haunt them along the path to adulthood. And your teens win because they’ll learn responsibility and the logic of life by solving their own problems and acquiring the tools they’ll need to cope with the real world.

As a parent, you face no greater challenge-and no greater opportunity-than to guide your children through their teen years toward productive, happy, and responsible adulthood. Parenting Teens with Love and Logic will help you meet that challenge and rejoice in that opportunity.

“With love and logic parenting skills, I no longer need to blow up every time my teenage son yanks my chain. In fact, we’ve never gotten along better!”-Fran Cook, parent

“At last-a parenting approach that doesn’t require a doctorate in psychology to understand and use! Every parent in America needs to know about love and logic.”-Dawn Degenhardt, executive director, Maine Adoption Placement Service

“Every parent longs to see a child becoming more responsible. This book shows how to encourage mature behavior while not destroying the relationship.”-Connie Podesta, M.S., L.P.C., Marriage & Family Counselor; president, CommuniCare

“This is timely, on-target information needed by all educators to help with the many problems of today’s young people.”-Dr. Gary L. Peevely, superintendent, Rogersville City Schools, Rogersville, TN

“Love and Logic has been required reading for all the parents I see in my practice. It is the best practical reference for parenting I’ve found. This new teen version is fantastic.”-Bud Kuecke, licensed clinical social worker
