There are many fine books of sound advice on the practical aspects of child-rearing. "Exemplary Parenting" stands apart as unique. Mr. Jones' focus is on data amassed during the last three decades, a veritable new world of vital information, and he spotlights the psychological ramifications of both current and past child-rearing methods. From the evolution of child-rearing over the last millennium, to our present dilemma, to methods for healing old relational wounds, his suggestions of methods, tactics, attitudes, and behaviors give parents the tools to ensure their children develop free of psychological limitations. In his review of this book Robert M. Jones, Ed.D, Professor and Chair, Educational Foundations at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, who is not related to the author, stated, "I recommend this book highly for two reasons. First, it presents good, solid advice on the process of authoritative parenting. Second, I believe the book has great value as a series of readings for teachers and other practitioners who interact with children and their parents...this book [goes] far beyond the parenting advice columns into new territory."
