Fun and practical, author Merrilee Boyack will have readers laughing out loud as well as feeling grateful for her parenting advice. She's a mom who's spent the last 22 years in the real-life work of parenting. “I have four sons, 13, 15, 17 and 22. You know what that means,” she writes. “I'm an absolute expert in raising children 23 and older.” Merrilee offers the “LDS parenting owner's manual they forgot to give you” for training kids — from toddlers to teens — to be independent. It includes ideas for how to teach kids about money, investing, debt, and the importance of earning their own money; how to help children with emotional and spiritual development; and much more.

When I was only 40% through the book, I thought that she could end the book right there and I would consider the price worth it. But she didn't. When I was 52% of the way through the book, I thought she could end the book right there and I would be ecstatic at the worth I received. But she didn't. I am currently at 64% and I am over the moon about this book! Read the free preview and the table of contents to see what is included (no point in repeating it here). You'll quickly note the author's humorous and done to earth tone.A couple of disclaimers:
1. I am a very fast reader, but it has taken me a week to get to 64%. This is NOT a quick read. Also, you will need to read it all the way through once, then read it and apply the ideas one small section at a time. It's that jam packed full of great ideas.
2. This is not a chore chart or how to get your kids to clean hack book. Although it does include some of that, this turned out to be more of a plan for your kids' childhood years.
3. You probably won't be able to read any entertaining books on your kindle if you're reading this on your kindle. Every time I went to read something light, my kindle opened to the last page of the book I was reading when I shut it off the last time, which was this book. A glance at the page and I would surface 30 minutes later, refreshed and still reading this book. The author's tone just sucks you in and you can't help but enjoy it.
4. The author assumes you are LDS. I'm not. I'm not even Christian. However, if you go into the book knowing that, it ceases to matter in the slightest. This is a good guide for any family, whether you want your family to follow her religion, your religion, my religion, or just general morality. Just keep in mind, if you aren't LDS, you may have some confusion when she mentions wards, stakes, various societies, and other things that are common to LDS life. By the way, wards and stakes are not what they sound like. I think they're religious community boundaries. Like school zones and county lines?

The Parenting Breakthrough edition by Merrilee Boyack Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Boyack breaks down skills that children should learn, at each age, so they can grow up and become independent, responsible and contributing adults. Her ideas are common sense, yet somehow much of this teaching is not occurring in American homes. Rather than encouraging another entitlement generation, Boyack encourages good, old-fashioned work and love to teach children. A must read for any parent.
This book is full of useful tips on raising independent kids. Love the part how her kids help in fighting the fire. Her family faith plays an important role in her growing up and how she and her husband raise their kids. I understand that some people may turn away because she is a Mormon, but I totally respect how her family practices religion in many positive ways.
2/3rds through this book. Great ideas for those areas you know need work. The concept is sooo important. I’m a Grandma and hoping to help with grandkids where I can!
The premise of this book is that our number one job as parents is to prepare our children to leave us and live independent productive lives. It is very motivating with simple principles that are easy to implement into your own family. I especially liked her break down of what age children are capable of doing what chores. I have young children. I want them involved in chores but I don't want to overwhelm them with chores that are just too difficult for their ability. She has a list of ages and what chores they should be able to accomplish at each age. It is wonderful!
I borrowed this book from a friend and was only a chapter or two into it before I knew I wanted one for myself! I love how it teaches the LONG TERM importance of how we raise our children and why it is important to teach them how to do things for themselves. And not just chores, but how to be a fully functioning adult by the time they reach adulthood. Changing tires, setting doctor appointments, basic household repairs, etc. It depresses me at how little the rising generation seems to know or even care to do! She may be a little extreme in some of her ideas, but it is still easy enough to take her mostly wonderful ideas and tailor them to fit my family. I definitely recommend this book!
I remembered reading this, as one of the first parenting books I ever read and thinking "this is genius!" Now, many many parenting books later, I re-read and it's pretty underwhelming. There's a lot of the author's own parenting style mixed in with genuinely good advice, so it's a real mixed bag. There are much much better parenting books out there. The sections on making a parenting plan and training are very good and worth a read though.
OK, my guess is that the vast majority of people who buy this book are Mormon, or know that it's written by a Mormon Mom, etc. The Deseret Books published would be a hint for those in the know--but as I live far from Utah, I'm not "in the know."
Nonetheless, even though I'm not Mormon, I still found this book quite entertaining and useful. Let's be honest, a lot of great Mormon Moms and Dads have written some great parenting/family books--Stephen Covey, Richard and Linda Eyre, etc.
There's a mix of new and old here. The chores/plan reminded me a bit of other books I have bought such as, "Children Who Do Too Little" and "401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home." You can also google age appropriate chores, etc. to get an idea what to have. As for skills--when they need them--that's more personal. I really liked the author's idea of having kids responsible for clothing and school supplies as teens (twelve in her book)--and offering a budget. That's a great and important tool to teach.
Where I think this book shines is in the way its written, the humor, and the faith within (even if it's not my faith). I really liked the emphasis on values and a family motto/mission statement as well.
Well worth the money.
