A few months back I was approached by Howard Books to review Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World by Jill Rigby . I had just finished a bible study on parenting, so I was intrigued and wanted to continue this subject!Feb 26, 2008
I think every person should read this not just if you have children. It really explains why society and kids are the way they are. I took away a lot of info for my own parenting. It's also awesome because the author was a single mom who did all this great parenting!Jul 31, 2017
The more I think about this book, the more I like it. There are a lot of good parenting ideas. These are just some of the pearls of advice I gleaned from this book:Aug 24, 2007
This book was barely ok-could possibly be a primer for someone with absolutley no idea how to teach children respect-like, maybe people who do not have, or have spent no time with, or have never been, children. The author's advice was condescending much of the time, and did not enhance my parenting skills. My children were (are) already fairly respectful, compared to some children we have encountered. I was looking for a book to help me "take it to the next level" as a parent, and this book did This book was barely ok-could possibly be a primer for someone with absolutley no idea how to teach children respect-like, maybe people who do not have, or have spent no time with, or have never been, children.

I am so glad I found this book. I have 3 older children in their 20's and teens and needed some advice on how to teach my 7yo and how to reinforce to him th be polite. this book should be given to all new parents.Jan 05, 2013
definitely recommend reading this book. Makes you see things that you may be doing that are NOT helping your kids and realizing what truly matters. Highly recommend for anyone raising kids. It's an ugly world out there and they need our guidance from the start.Feb 08, 2015
Absolutely golden information! So well written with stories that are easy to relate to, by a woman who knows what she's talking about. I highly recommend for all parents, those who wish to be a parent, teachers, and child-rearers of all kinds. If more parents would read this and put it's principles to practice, I believe we would soon have a generation to be proud of.Aug 02, 2013
I think Jill has correctly identified a problem with today's parenting in the emphasis on self-esteem in children. She presents a very good argument for the character damage that has been done. The book provides great suggestions for intentional parenting and character development. It is written from a Christian viewpoint, which I think is essential.

Well being a parent does not come with a handbook. It should! I see so many children that do not understand manners and common courtesy anymore. This is not only something that we should be addressing but it helps make life easier for the child too. In raising my own daughter I always remembered that I was forming a future adult. Thus I knew I needed to give her the tools to be successful on her own one day. The biggest tool I know of is common respect. Giving it and accepting it too.

Lots of good, practical advice in this book, but I don't agree with everything she says. Her conclusions about the Harry Potter series were based on reading one book and based on what she said, I am not even sure she read it. She seems to think that Harry's decisions are based on subjective morality. I totally disagree. The message of the books, in my opinion, is that love is more powerful than hate and doing the right thing often requires self sacrifice and great courage.Dec 31, 2010
I wouldn't say there were any earth shattering revelations, but there were good reminders for parenting. Probably what I like most about this book is that the Christian author devoted each chapter to talking about the three stages of development (tykes/toddlers, tween, & teens), what they should learn/expectations, along with ideas of discipline for each age group. She supports love and logic discipline strategies. Beware, she take a very hard stance on young-adult children's literature, I wouldn't say there were any earth shattering revelations, but there were good reminders for parenting.

Good book with practical ideas and suggestions on how to raise kids in our troubled world. Sometimes I don't know what i am looking for in a parenting book.....the "perfect" parenting book doesn't exist (just like the parents who read them). It is a lot of hit and miss, try and try again, see what works approach to raising kids.

Every parent should read this book! It is full of practical advice and wisdom, and is very well written.Aug 16, 2013
Weve come to expect candor in a caring manner from Jill Rigby and she doesnt disappoint in her latest release Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World. She addresses the three parenting types, parent-centered, child-centered and character-centered.Aug 01, 2013
If this isn't a title that grabs you, I don't know what is! Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World was a book I knew I had to read immediately! In a world full of entitled children who have forgotten the difference between child and adult, I know I need to do everything I can to help my children become successful, respectful people.Jul 23, 2013
I have never been a parent before so all I know about parenting I know thanks to the examples that surround me, some of which are really more examples of what not to do. As I embark on my own parenthood journey I can't help but want to prepare as much as I possibly can. For me preparation equals obtaining lots of knowledge and figuring out what kind of people I want to raise.Aug 05, 2013
I am a 70 year old grandparent, who was stunned by the practical everyday advice which Jill Rigby lays out in this wonderful book. Jill writes from the perspective of first a single parent. Jill continues on after her marriage to: Nick Garner, but this is not a book about the parent/parents it is about parenting. This is the second edition of this book, the first being published in 2005.Jul 30, 2013
Title: RAISING RESPECTFUL CHILDREN IN A DISRESPECTFUL WORLDAug 05, 2013
I received a copy of the newly released book Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World by family advocate, Jill Rigby, in return for my honest review of the book.Aug 13, 2013
DISCLAIMER: I do not have children.Jul 22, 2013
Thanks to Howard Books, I was privileged to receive a copy of Jill Rigbys Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World to review. My take on the book? What a gem! I plan to re-read this book before school begins & then share it with everyone I can.Aug 18, 2008
This book is fairly basic: teach your kids please and thank you, don't give them everything they want whenever they want it, let them play, spend time with them, and don't lace their competitor's water with tranquilizers just so they can win the tennis match.Nov 12, 2017
Meh. Very self grandizing(sp?). She went on a lot of trips down memory lane and concluded that everyone should have a puzzle table, play specific games, etc. Everything else was common sense. Not a very helpful book.Sep 27, 2017
This book was a big eye opener for me. Since starting the book I've changed just a few small things in my parenting and have noticed a big change in one of my child's behaviors. My middle child refuses to budge on anything which doesn't necessarily affect my feelings toward the book, just shows that all kids are different.Mar 05, 2019
This book was just okay; not one that I would particularly recommend. I've never really had a thing for parenting books to begin with, but the title pulled me in. I have a very well-mannered son, but he also has some behaviors that I want to help him grow out of at a young age. However, I didn't get anything out of this book so I was left disappointed. Now, there was some good advice, but it was all common sense stuff that I'm already doing and I was hoping to find some new tips that could help This book was just okay; not one that I would particularly recommend.

I didn't find that in this book. I was also distracted by how much emphasis the author put on religion and God. We don't practice religion in my house so that also kind of turned me off. ...moreTake your time and choose the perfect book.
