Join Ronnie West and Dr. Jeremy Dale as they offer real-time reaction to the viral TED Talk video "The Most Important Parenting Strategy"

Surprise! We actually might agree with her?

Parents have the authority to lead their children, they have responsibility to train their children, and they have the right to discipline their children. As we become better people, we become better parents. 

You can parent. You may parent. You must parent. 

Have you ever been frustrated that your children won’t do what you want  -- or think you're the problem? Have you seen parents of other well-behaved children and wondered why it seems so easy for them? It’s not. Or at least, it’s not easy at first. It’s obvious that parenting can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be.

The Good Parenting style works faster, is easier, and has more long-term benefits for your kids.  It is your best chance for your kid to avoid long-term therapy, launch on time, and be a source of pride for you and your family.

Who are We? Ronnie West and Dr. Jeremy Dale are a couple of dads and mental health professionals who believe the goal of parenting is to raise virtuous and competent adults.

Ronnie West holds an M.A. from Dallas Baptist University, has been a counselor since 2011, married since 2004, and father since 2009. His wife Heather is a stay-at-home mom who homeschools all 7 of their kids. Dr. Jeremy Dale is a psychologist with a PhD from Fielding Graduate University. He has been practicing psychology since 2009, including practicing with children and family for eight years. He has been married since 2006 and father since 2014. Jeremy's wife Liz also homeschools their three children.

They're here, they're DINKs, and they're not being fully truthful to themselves. The whole thing seems to be built around a false narrative, and it denies some fundamental truths about what makes life good and worth living. Join Ronnie West and Dr. Jeremy Dale as they consider, "Did these DINKs consider the benefits of having kids?"

 Have you ever been frustrated with your children because they just won’t do what you want – or maybe just frustrated with yourself because you think the issue might be with you? Have you seen other well-behaved children and wondered why it seems so easy for other parents? 

 It’s not. Or at least, it’s not easy at first. It’s obvious that parenting is difficult, but it’s so much more rewarding when the effort is put up-front. 

 Hi. We’re Jeremy and Ronnie West. We’re a couple of dads and mental health professionals who believe the goal of parenting is to raise virtuous and competent adults.
