New Economy Edition Many parents I meet, "" says John Croyle,
""feel discouraged and defeated in their relationships with their
children. They want to be good parents, but they don't know where
to find that 'something extra' within. This book is meant to give
you some positive principles that will help you find that. Then you
in turn can bring out the winner in your child."" Bringing Out the
Winner in Your Child challenges parents to examine their skills,
recognize their inadequacies, and love their children enough to
make the changes needed to provide a stable, peaceful home.
Croyle's life is an inspiring story of an All-American defensive
end whose love for children prompted his coach, the legendary Bear
Bryant, to advise him to ""forget about pro football and follow
your dream."" In 1974 Croyle founded Big Oak Ranch as a home for
abused, neglected, or abandoned children. Since then it has been a
refuge and a natural, loving environment for more than 1,500
children from ages six to twenty-one. Croyle's practical guide to
raising children encourages parents to develop skills as guardian,
disciplinarian, provider, and friend so they can provide their
children with love, stability, protection, and wisdom. His
wide-ranging experience is the basis for his many lessons in
dealing with typical parenting problems. Croyle offers such
valuable insights as how children listen with their eyes (not their
ears), how children and adults speak different languages, how
realistic boundaries can affect children in positive ways, and how
discipline with love, not anger, creates an atmosphere of growth
and trust. His daughter, Reagan, was a four-year member of the
women's varsity basketball team at theUniversity of Alabama.
Croyle's son, Brodie, was the top-rated high school quarterback in
America when he graduated in 2000, and in 2002 he was a quarterback
for the Alabama Crimson Tide.""
