Have you ever been frustrated that your children won’t do what you want -- or think you're the problem? Have you seen parents of other well-behaved children and wondered why it seems so easy for them? It’s not. Or at least, it’s not easy at first. It’s obvious that parenting can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. The Good Parenting style works faster, is easier, and has more long-term benefits for your kids. Ronnie West and Dr. Jeremy Dale are a couple of dads and mental health professionals who believe the goal of parenting is to raise virtuous and competent adults. Ronnie West holds an M.A. from Dallas Baptist University, has been a counselor since 2011, married since 2004, and father since 2009. His wife Heather is a stay-at-home mom who homeschools all 7 of their kids. Dr. Jeremy Dale is a psychologist with a PhD from Fielding Graduate University. He has been practicing psychology since 2009, including practicing with children and family for eight years. He has been married since 2006 and father since 2014. Jeremy's wife Liz also homeschools their three children.
