About
This little book is based upon common-sense rules of parenting that I set up for myself, from a very young age by observation, long before I became a parent myself. Since I felt that these were common-sense rules, I never thought they were worth writing about.
What precipitated the decision to write this book was when I recently came across a book by an American woman of Chinese parentage who was proudly called a 'Tiger Mom'!
I was shocked at the book and decided that it was time I published a happy alternative way of parenting which has served me well both as a parent and a grandparent.
So, this little book is born out of my indignation and disgust at what some people consider to be good parenting!
'Papa Bear's Happy Parenting Rules' will help parents who struggle with finding a good balance between love and discipline.
Parents don't have to become a 'Tiger Mum' or a 'Pussycat Dad'. Instead, they can avoid both extremes and choose the middle way - by following the Papa Bear approach!
Praise for this book
The author has some incredible advice for parents and caregivers on how to raise children that will grow up to have healthy self-esteem and strong faith in themselves,...
In Chapter 1, he says 'Cherish the child as a gift from God'. And he brings up some incredible points about this which rings true for me.
The subsequent chapters are just as insightful with plenty of real-life examples. It is so enlightening and timely. I love this book and wish my parents had had it when I was growing up.
An eyeopening view into parenting! I am not a fan of parenting books myself, but author Gopi Menon gave me hope with his book!
I found myself looking back on my childhood and wishing my parents had implemented some of his perspectives while raising us.
Whether you're a parent already, or a parent-to-be, or plan to become one; this book would be a significant addition to your library and a fresh perspective on the world of parenting.
Menon’s advice for compassionate parenting resonates. He suggests treating each child individually, seeing them for who they are, listening for what they need, and responding in kind. After all, isn’t that what we all want?"
