All About Raising Children

In one of the most crucial areas of human life, raising children, parents face many problems of varying degrees and far too many failures. The parents themselves may be excellent persons with the best of intentions and love for their children but they may not necessarily be good parents. This may be because they do not understand children or how to motivate them to good behavior. When parents face these perplexing problems, many of them feel without adequate guidance. 
The purpose of this book is to teach parents how to reach success with their children. It explains the kind of persons parents must be , the home life they must provide, the care and devotion required and the close friendship they must build to reach this success. It teaches clear-cut methods of training them to be obedient and responsible, of developing their character and intellect to its hightet potential and of building a feeling of self-worth. 
In raising children what should our aspirations be? First, we have an important duty to help them find happiness. To help them find this happiness we must help them succeed in important areas of dailing living, such as in their studies, their work, their personal achievements and their relationships. 
To succeed in all areas we must build the child. We must build his character so he is responsible and honorable with a code for moral living that is solid and unchanging. We must train him to be sensitive to the needs and feelings of others, refined, well-manered and self-controlled. We must develop his mind so he can reason soundly, concentrate intently, exercise good judgment and make wise decisions. We must inspire him with the confidence to do what he sets out to do and develop his self-reliance so that he can take care of his own needs and stand on his own feet. We should cultivate his creativity so he is capable of oringinal thought and original work and fire him with ambition to live a useful life. 
What would reaching these objectives do for your children? First, it would insure their success and happiness. This does not mean they would have a life free of problems, but they would have the inner resources to deal with these problems effectively. Instead of becoming burdens to society, as so many are, they would be the lifters and the builders. 
Parents would benefit equally. They would be spared the anxiety, worry and usual distress parents experience when children are problems. They would feel pride and satisfaction as they see their children mature inot honorable, happy adults. They would begin to enjoy the rewards of their many years of dedication and sacrifice. Their children's success would be their success. The father's kingdom would be his family; the mothers glory would be the happiness of her children. 
A generation of excellent children would have a profound effect upon society. We would eliminate vice, corruption, violence and msot of our social problems. Instead, our youth would begin to build our country in a positive way. Our children would be out country's greatest wealth. To quote the late religious leader, David O. McKay: 
"Our country's most precious possession is not our vast acres of rangeland supporting flocks and herds, not our productive farms; not our forest, not our mines and oil wells producing fabulous wealth. Our country's greatest resource is our children." 
What are the possiblities of reaching success with our children? Can we reach any potential we desire for them? The following theory makes this seem possible: 
Sculpture 
I took a piece of plastic clay And idly fashioned it one day And as my fingers pressed it, still It moved and yielded to my will. 
I came again when days went past; The bit of clay was hard at last. The form I gave it still it bore, But I could change it nevermore! 
I took a piece of living clay, And gently pressed it day by day, And molded with may power and art A young child's soft and yielding heart. 
I came again when years were gone; It was a man I looked upon. He still that early impress bore, And I could fashion him no more. 
Anon 
Our power to shape a child is profound. We can mold his character, instill a faith in God, build self-worth and almost insure his success and happiness. However, a child is not quite as pliable as a piece of clay. He is born with inherent traits. Our success depends on us recognizing the uniqueness of his personality and guiding him in that direction. Aside from this we have great power to reach high goals, to bring out the best, noblest elements within him. 
Success with children should include each one of them, not just the more promising ones. It would be a serious mistake to pass over a particular child because he is a real challenge. Some parents console themselves because they have other children who meet their expecations. I raising children we should not be satisfied with percentages. We must bring all of our children "into the fold." 
The role of parents requires diligence, sacrifice and wise priorities, but we can reach success without sacrificing our entire lives to them. It is not wise, in fact, to confine ourselves entirely to our family life. The doting parents who lives only for his children is not a good parent. He must have a well-rounded life, other interests and make contributions outside the home. 
It is possible for parents to have such a life of their own, even in a large family. When children are well-trained they become easy to manage. As they become dependable and responsible they become an asset and actually free their parents to do other things. Parents can enjoy the passing years instead of looking to the day their children are raised. Methods of reaching success are outlined in the four parts of this book.

This is a book for single women who wish to marry. It paints a clear picture of The Ideal Woman, From a Man's Point of View, made up of two parts - the angelic and the human. The angelic side of the ideal woman consist of four qualities, which are: 1) Understanding Men 2) Inner Happiness 3) A Worthy Character and 4) A Domestic Goddess. The human side also consists of four qualities which are: 1) Femininity 2) Radiant Happiness 3) Radiant Health and 4) Childlikeness. In focusing on the Angelic side, the idea is that a man never really loves a woman unless she is a good person. Prime among her angelic qualities is her ability to understand men, their needs and sensitive masculine nature. She must be a person of integrity and moral courage but also gentle, kind and truly charitable. She must show promise of being domestic, capable of running a household and being a devoted mother. All of these noble qualities will result in her being a happy persons. 
But, being good is not enough. She must also be human. Prime among the human qualities is femininity, which the world of women know little about. The book explains the four ways to be feminine - in appearance, manner, nature and role. All are important but little understood or lived in todays world, especially in America. Femininity is one of the real keys to attracting men. It is achieved by accentuating the differences between men and women, not the similarities. Equality between the sexes has been the downfall of romance between men and women. 
In addition to being feminine, the ideal woman must be radiant, in good health, and be childlike. Childlikness is one of the most attractive qualities men find in women. 
Unfortunately women lose these human qualities early in life. They become too grown up, too sober and practical. Instead of thinking of being a wonderful wife and mother and preparing for their career in the home, they are caught up in being a shining light in the working world. Instead of thinking of their responsibilities they are thinking of their rights. 
There is little written on the subject of winning men. Many young women are left without knowledge or role models to guide them, and as a result never win the men they are interested in, or make mistakes that drive men away. They move ahead on instincts, which are not usually reliable. This book provides the much-needed knowledge. To do so it relies on the timeless truths of the ages. It provides an insight into the nature and needs of men, how they differ from women, what men find attractive in women and what awakens their love, tenderness and devotion. This tender, devoted love of a man for a woman has always been the theme of great operas, novels and songs. Love, the most moving force in life, rightfully deserves a young woman's study and consideration. 
This practical book is a most timely aid to every young woman who desires to be attractive to men and eventually to marry. Unless she is equipped with proper knowledge to guide her, she must depend upon luck or instincts to assist her in this important period in her life. Now is the time for this information to be offered on the art of attracting men.
