Common Sense Parenting presents a practical, common-sense approach to rearing children in the 1990's. Kent and Barbara Hughes present simple and creative ideas to help you raise a godly family and have fun in the process. They draw from Biblical instruction as well as their own thirty years of child-rearing experience in this warm and intimate book. Chapter topics include promoting affection between members of your family, using appropriate discipline, and imparting godliness to your children. And the book is loaded with helpful tips for establishing a solid family heritage - like how to start holiday traditions or planning fun and affordable family vacations. There's even a section of Hughes family favourite recipes! Easy to read, easy to implement, Common Sense Parenting will help you be the parent you want to be. (c) Tyndale House Publishers

I really liked this book on Christian parenting! It is filled with lots of good ideas on fostering a family identity, praying for your children, establishing routines and traditions, and enjoying your children to the utmost! Although a lot of the information was more applicable to school age children, there is no time like the present to start implementing habits that will carry you through your child's life! Even though I have an 18 month old, I plan to read this book again and put at least some of the suggestions into practice now. I wholeheartedly recommend this to any parent who wants to improve and be the best they can be!
