“How to Be a Good Parent: Create Your Own Way” by Professor Larry Jensen is now available for purchase
“To illustrate this “uncommon” common sense, we will read firsthand reports from students about family life. Personal experiences are important not only as illustrations of concepts, but also because they provide realistic insights. Staying close to firsthand and up-to-date accounts of the parenting process enables us to keep in touch with the common sense that is not so common.”
– an excerpt from the book
AR Press is honored to publish “How to Be a Good Parent: Create Your Own Way” by Professor Larry Jensen. This book asks you to create your own way to be a good parent because no two parents can or should be alike, and no two children are the same. Good parenting then becomes a creative process; it is not achieved by adopting wholesale the rules, techniques, and styles of others. Fortunately, the best parenting will come easily and naturally for you, and this book reveals how to make this happen. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website.
Professor Jensen was born in 1938 and grew up in Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado. He is married to Janet and is the father of 10 children, 33 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. After graduating from Wheat Ridge High School in Colorado, he received B.S. and M.S. degrees from Brigham Young University and his Ph.D. degree from Michigan State University.
Professor Jensen has taught at the following universities:
- Michigan State University
- State University of New York at Potsdam
- Brigham Young University at Provo
- Brigham Young University in Hawaii
- Utah State University
All of us are unique individuals with different personalities and values. Thus, we need to create our own way of parenting. But also consider that each child is different and unique; thus, we need to adapt our parenting for each child. This book will help you do this: create your own special way to be a good parent.
An important part of this book is the self-tests or learning experiences designed to help you examine and develop your way of being a good parent. In essence, it asks you to create your own theory of parenting designed uniquely for you as you relate to each unique child. It is not written to be read passively but actively, as you are presented with questions and asked to thoughtfully answer them to achieve your own special way of being a good parent.
