The Importance of Parental Love and Discipline

That parents have a great deal of influence and responsibility regarding their children is an idea that comes straight from God who once told Moses: "I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generations." These sobering words provide the foundation for Father Doyle's practical guide to Catholic parenting, which is thankfully now back in print after half a century. The author thoroughly covers many pertinent topics including: -The "imperative needs" of every child -Specific "rights and privileges" of children -31 "don'ts" of child-rearing -21 character traits of good parents -One rule you must never break in disciplining your child -The havoc wrought on children by divorce, separation, alcoholism and loveless marriages -Adverse effects of mothers working -How parental quarreling hurts older kids -Find yourself shouting at your children more and more? -Homosexuality: why bad parenting is often a significant cause -Best way to train your child in the virtues -How delay in having children can undermine a marriage -Thieves and dishonest people are not born, they are made -- by parents. -What to do if you catch a child lying or stealing -Lasting effects on children of an absent father or mother -Why wives should never undermine their husbands' standing in the eyes of the children -How some couples hamper, even destroy, their children's own ability to succeed in marriage -Common way that well-meaning mothers foster obesity in children -New York psychiatrist: why full-time wives and mothers are the most psychologically healthy women
