Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World (Motherhood Club)
by Jill Rigby
Liked your review, but she does include Mrs. Gore--she was part of that "group of senator's wives" she mentioned. She didn't list them explicitly, but then I didn't notice any specific names on the right either (of course, I wasn't looking for them, so I may have overlooked them). I liked this line--"maybe people who do not have, or have spent no time with, or have never been, children." LOL.

This book was barely ok-could possibly be a primer for someone with absolutley no idea how to teach children respect-like, maybe people who do not have, or have spent no time with, or have never been, children. The author's advice was condescending much of the time, and did not enhance my parenting skills. My children were (are) already fairly respectful, compared to some children we have encountered. I was looking for a book to help me "take it to the next level" as a parent, and this book did not help.
There were serious issues with the author including her politics, fairly forthrightly (to the right). She names names when she feels like, but when talking about music labeling with parental advisories, she COMPLETELY leaves out Tipper Gore,a pioneer in the industry (and a left-winger). There was no reason to not even NAME Ms. Gore.
This book is for people who have no idea where to start in terms of teaching respect. If you are looking for a little extra help as you...more
