Today I am posting one of my two favorite resources about child rearing. My other favorite is Michael Pearl’s To Train up a Child.
This is called Raising Godly Tomatoes. How can one tomato be more godly than another? Actually, the team refers to the author’s child rearing method of “tomato staking” her children. When you grow tomatoes you tie them close to a stake so they will grow up right. The stake keeps them from getting wild. So to “tomato stake a child you “tie” (not literally) them to your hip, keep them with you at all times, so you can catch any misbehavior immediately and correct it. The method does work.
Unfortunately, many parents, even when home with there children all day, have no idea what those children are up to. If you are with them constantly (tomato stacked) you can see bad attitudes and habits begin and stop them before they become ingrained. It really is the best way to insure you have likable children when they are grown.
This woman has a great deal of other advise that is very good and worth the time to read.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
