Product Description
Kid-Tested (and Tested, and Tested…) Guidance for Parents in the Trenches.
The Inside Track to Raising Kids.

Most of us find raising one, two…or maybe three or four children to be challenging enough. The idea of parenting a half dozen seems almost crazy, and more children than that–impossible. But Pat and Ruth Williams have together raised (and are continuing to raise) nineteen kids. More importantly, they’ve not just survived the process–they’ve loved it!

What do they know that the rest of us don’t? What does it take to make a family of any size not only work, but thrive? After bringing up nineteen kids–as biological parents, adoptive parents, single parents, and step-parents–Pat and Ruth Williams have gained a volume of insights and experience that will enrich your home, strengthen your family, and help you be the parent you want to be. Inside you’ll find counsel that really works–whether you’re raising one child, one dozen (or more), or any number in between.

I enjoyed reading this book and finished it rather quickly. Genuine feelings and experiences from the authors about their own parenting journey. A little disappointed though about the topic of spanking. Though the authors emphasize their belief in this particular method should be limited and only with young children, it still gives the impression that it is preferred. I would also like to see more emphasis on parents' responsibilities and accountabilities in this difficult task of parenting. Overall, I appreciate this book and has recommended to others.
