Pinecrest Academy to Host Parenting Expert John Rosemond

The syndicated columnist has written over 20 books on parenting and has made numerous television appearances on a variety of networks

Pinecrest Academy in Cumming, GA, is pleased to host nationally known author, syndicated columnist, and family psychologist, John Rosemond, in September for two speaking engagements. Rosemond is known for his sound advice and relaxed style and is one of America’s busiest and most popular public speakers.


Rosemond will speak on β€œParenting with Love and Leadership” on Monday, September 12 at 7:00pm, and β€œUnderstanding and Managing Your Teenager” on Tuesday, September 13 at 7:00pm, at Pinecrest Academy. Both engagements will take place in the Upper School Gym. The events are open to the community and free to all, with donations gratefully accepted. Guests may register online or use the QR code.

β€œParenting with Love and Leadership” is a humorous, yet thought-provoking seminar, where Rosemond describes the contemporary parenting conundrum in clear, compelling terms, and then describes a practical, tested solution, using what children need adults to provide to them: Love and Leadership.

In β€œUnderstanding and Managing Your Teenager,” Rosemond describes a macro-management style that focuses on the β€œSix C’s of Teen-Proofing”: curfew, cash, car, conflict, consequences, and colleagues (a.k.a. co-conspirators). This parenting style all but ensures that teens will take responsible control of their own destinies during the most significant years of their childhoods and approach emancipation with confidence and purpose.

"At Pinecrest Academy, our mission is to form Christian leaders who will transform society. This mission is made possible through partnership with parents, as we work in unison to help students discover their God-given potential, and develop the character and leadership skills needed to serve their community," said Jake Rodgers, Pinecrest Academy Head of School. "Parenting is both joyful and challenging, and that's why we are honored to host Mr. John Rosemond for two speaking engagements designed to equip parents with practical ways to lead their children with love."

Rosemond has authored over 20 books on parenting, family life, and faith, including his recently released β€œThe Bible Parenting Code.” He has been writing a nationally syndicated parenting column for over 35 years that appears in over 200 newspapers. Some of Rosemond’s books include: β€œThe Well-Behaved Child, β€œMaking the Terrible Twos Terrific,” and β€œTeen Proofing.” Rosemond’s common-sense advice has gained much credibility with today’s parents who are tired of techniques and methods that don’t work, eager for tried-and-true parenting practices.
