Kudos

As John receives kudos concerning his books and public speaking from people around the USA (and sometimes from countries other than the USA), we will post them here, with the latest we’ve received at the top. By no means are these the only kudos John receives…they are just the ones we choose to share with the class. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

RE: “Fooled by Parenting Advice from the 70′s” article in Lima News, Lima, Ohio

Good Morning John:

Just a quick note thanking you for your insights on the above referenced article:

My wife and I met you at an event in Florida several years ago and enjoyed your presentation and conversation afterwards.  I remember when you signed one of your books to our children “Because I said so!” as a key reminder that our “job” is not raise children, but to raise adults and their obligations are to do as we say.  That time with you in FL helped my wife and I improve our parenting attitude and behavior and we take pride in getting periodic compliments about our children’s’ behavior as productive, respectful and accountable not as a piece of feedback to make us whole, but rather as confirmation that our children are learning and applying sound practice in life, hopefully to serve them and their communities in a positive way.

Keep the faith and keep sharing sage advice with fellow parents and future parents out there, I’m thankful our Lima News publishes your work on a regular basis!

Dear John,

This is my first fan letter. I’m not married, I don’t have kids, but I wanted to thank you for The Well-Behaved Child. The penny dropped for me when I read that discipling the child relieves him of the burden of having to rebel against his parents. Now I have a better understanding of what the Bible means when it says, “Take my yoke upon you…for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11: 29-30.” Relieved of the burdn by allowing God to lead, I am free.

Thank you,

Hi Mr. Rosemond,

My husband and I met you in Branson at the HSLDA conference. Since Branson I have either been listening to your CDs, reading your books, or on your website daily. I have laughed, cried, been enlightened….and it is working because I have heard “Mom, you’re so mean” and “you’re making me cry” . LOL

Just want to say thank you!! Your message is like the balm of Gilead for this mom’s soul. I get it. I understand. What I’ve known in my gut has been validated. I am thinking more clearly, able to make confident choices, and have more peace in my role as mom. In these last weeks I have been working on me and that alone has made a HUGE difference. We just started tickets this week for our younger two. Going great. I am just about in tears in saying how grateful I am for your desire and determination to share these truths the Lord has revealed to you. You have gotten to the heart/root of the matter (parenting) where transformation is able to take place as opposed to a surface fix. Thank you, Thank you!!

Thank you again. Keep on keeping on!!
