How many times do we hear a Mom or Dad say ‘I did the best I could’ yet the tone is that of regret or disappointment or worry or even heartache about how things have played out? Part of that is the result of unrealistic expectations for sure. Yet maybe the biggest part is not having a comprehensive, holistic approach to parenting.

SICK & TIRED OF BEING SICK & TIRED:
Solutions for a Better, Healthier Life
from Amazon: Russell Jones is a living example of what is possible in physical fitness and wellness. At 70 years old he looks and feels better than people half his age. This book was created to help offer a solution to the many people who live their day to day lives feeling sick and tired and are ready to make some changes and live their best life in the only body they'll ever have.
I'm Sick & Tired of: 1. America being obese & overweight (as a kid growing up 15 people could fit in an elevator, now only 3). 2. my friends & family dying way too young. 3. people coming to me injured, sick & out of shape to tell me everything they know about health. 4. lazy, out-of-touch doctors who would rather write a prescription than offer sound guidance on how to eat and exercise. 5. the fitness industry preying on people who need real help. 6. hearing people blame their genetics for their health woes when the truth is that it's their lifestyle. 7. finicky eaters of all ages. |
8. how physically weak America has become.
9. erectile dysfunction commercials.
10. people who tell me how many steps they took today.
11. 20 year old fitness gurus.
12. those who tell me how their doctor told them how fit they are but that they have to stay on 3 LifeTime medications.
13. the 2 major obstacles to everyone's health... mis-information & habits.
14. health experts who either look anything but healthy or are on a PED needle (performance enhancing drugs).
15. yoga classes filled with uncontrollable gas. If all the world became vegetarians, it would be people emitting vast quantities of methane gas replacing cows as #1.
16. everyone being braced- ankles, knees, backs, elbows, wrists, necks. Braces can hold you up BUT eventually they hold you back.
17. of desperate people signing up for the 'quick fix'- gastric bypass, gastric sleeves, vitamins, magic potions and 'lose weight quick' scams.
18. people being tired with no energy or vitality & not knowing what to do about it.
19. hearing how people can't get a deep sleep without drugs. Note: sleep is as important as diet and exercise.
20. folks not being able to 'live the life' they desperately want to live.
21. hearing people complain of back & neck pain with their only solution being drugs.
22. folks wasting money on bogus exercise equipment.
23. the food industry and how government approves of health-killing 'foods' to eat (follow the money).
24. the fight-cancer industry(follow the money)
25. parents & grandparents unable to participate in energetic activities with their families.
26. people thinking it's normal to be abnormal and saying 'it's just the way I am'.
I try not to offend anyone. But if I do, it's with Love in my Heart.

The world is a whole lot different now than it was when we were kids. It’s scary! One thing I know for sure is that even though technology and the world change every day, there is one thing that stays the same... human nature.The successful principals of life and parenting remain constant. As long as we can determine these principals and blend them into our lives, we can rest in knowing that we have been great parents.
For you, Mom and Dad, Top Secrets of Success… 4 Kids is part of the solution. Screening what your children watch and listen to, building trust, keeping them active, quality food, exercise, consistent discipline, associating with good people, encouragement and you being a positive role model are all components of a comprehensive parenting program.

Reviewer: A reader
Did you ever have a problem of communicating "do the right thing- for the right reason" to a child? What do you think would happen if your child would sit down and read a book and share the ideas with you that are discussed in the book?
Russell and Lin Jones' have the uncanny ability to "connect."
Their simple approach should not be considered "simplistic.” They obviously have a knack of telling real life stories that are appealing to the young reader. And, probably more importantly their stories have a point that strikes right to the struggles of most young people.
Then if that is not enough the authors challenge the youthful reader. If they have been touched by the words in this book and they want to apply some of what they have learned the authors ask the reader to "pledge" their commitment to be themselves -- to grow and enjoy life. What a neat message. What a neat book! This is probably the only book my two children have read and reread! Now that's saying something about the book!
