The "Positive Parenting with a
Plan (Grades K-12): F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules" Book
Here is what is being said about the
F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules book:
Forward written by Hillel I. Swiller, MD
"An absence of structure afflicts a vast number of contemporary
American families. There are many sources of this dreadful
phenomenon including substance abuse, mental illness, divorce,
illegitimacy, financial pressures, and moral inadequacy, to name
just a few. Whatever the primary sources of the lack of family
structure may be, the absence of structure itself invariably leads
the family further down the spiral of despair, dysfunction, disease
and delinquency.
Dr. Matthew A. Johnson ("Dr. J.") and his F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules
parenting system offer a powerful alternative to family chaos.
F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules presents a solid and coherent structure for
families in need. In this book, he first presents a philosophical
and intellectual framework for F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules and then presents
the system itself in an absolutely clear and straightforward manner.
F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is a product of who and what "Dr. J." himself is,
a child of a family with problems, an outstanding competitive
athlete, a dedicated and highly trained professional, and a man of
strong conviction who practices what he believes.
While F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules is highly structured, it is not rigid.
Within the structure is plenty of room for individuality and
creativity just as the rules of basketball leave room for the
individuality and creativity of a Michael Jordan or a
Dr. J.
Families who understand and correctly and consistently implement
F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules will be protected from many of the most
pernicious ills of our time. I am pleased to recommend F.A.M.I.L.Y.
Rules."

"I spend a great deal of time working
with AT RISK children and their families. I have observed that
organization and structure helps to greatly improve the family
environment. Dr. Johnson’s book, F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules, helps parents
to restore responsibility and respect in their homes. Children and
adolescents learn to obey their parents and other authority figures
at school, church, and in their community. Everyone learns to
communicate their expectations and friendships develop as a result.
The whole family wins with F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules!"
Mark Eaton, Former All-Star Center, Utah Jazz
"Raising healthy, responsible,
contented children is a challenge! Most parents grew up with little
experience in child rearing, then suddenly find themselves
responsible for the 24-hour care of a precious little one who eats,
sleeps, breathes, and acts in ways which alternately delight and
frustrate. In a simple, direct, light-hearted, and principled way,
Dr. Johnson’s book, F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules, provides a practical
instruction manual for helpfully dealing with the inevitable
challenges of parenting."
Rodger K. Bufford, Ph.D.,
Professor and Director of Integration, Graduate School of Clinical
Psychology, George Fox University.
"Dr. Johnson’s book, F.A.M.I.L.Y.
Rules, provides the best way to run a family whether you think
you’ve got it together or not. Applying concepts of F.A.M.I.L.Y.
Rules in our family was a major key to our successful journey from
chaos and rebellion to a place of family wholeness and peace. Most
importantly, applying F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules in our family got dad and
mom on the same sheet of music, clarified our family priorities, and
gave us the structure we needed to succeed. Thanks, "Dr. J." for
showing the world again, that you don’t want to live outside of
F.A.M.I.L.Y.’s rules!"
James M. Dorman, Lt. Col., USAF.
"Great book! Dr. Johnson’s ideas will
help anyone with kids."
Ken Giles, Nobody you know but a husband and father of two
beautiful girls, Columbia, S.C.
"Positive Parenting with a Plan is the best
parenting book on the planet! It works well with my little hairy
kids."
