I was listening to NPR in the car the other day and they were talking about children and parental relations; how now more than ever parents have such little control over the environment their child grows up in because of the plethora of media within the home. They talked about ways parents can better communicate with their child and how to put up (and adhere to!) family rules, especially with kids whose friends are all about competing with the Jones's.This broadcast came at a good time, I've been thinking a lot about this issue lately and right in time for a new book from Richard and Linda!
I've been a fan of the Eyre's for a long time, ever since I read their book "Teaching your Children Joy". Now, I follow almost all of their children's blogs and have been looking forward for this book to come out with great anticipation. It comes after a reputable line of best-sellers, books that are both interesting to read with their own stories of raising 9 kids (gaaa!) and filled with true to life facts and examples from other parents in the same boat as you. What I like about their books are that they don't preach to you. It's not a scientific book full of facts and charts you can get lost in, they write from experience. I come away from reading with a burning desire to DO more and to BE more. And the confidence that I can.
Richard and Linda Eyre are world-wide travelers who speak about family issues and boy do they know their stuff. So I highly recommend this book to anyone who has children whether they are of the right age of not. The age of entitlement is just revving up.
They are giving away tons of free prizes, including a platinum prize of a weekend getaway stay in Salt Lake City and other well-worth gifts for pre-ordering their book HERE. It's only $12 (33% off the cover price) and if the price drops before the release date in September, you're guaranteed the lower price through amazon pre-orders.
Check it out! Seriously. If you want to find out more about the Eyre's here is their website.
And their daughter Saren's Power of Moms where you can find out more about those AWESOME prizes!
