About L. K. Mickelson
Larry Mickelson was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He graduated from The University of Wyoming and began teaching high school Psychology. It was while teaching that he began to develop his uncommon ideas about the nature of human emotions, especially love. His first book in 1979: "Understanding Heartbreak" was popular in the Denver, Colorado area and began to be referred to as the 'Divorced Person's Bible'.
Larry is the father of three sons and the proud stepfather of two girls and a fourth boy. Since grandchildren are on his wish list, he has recently written and released a new book called: "Alternatives to Spanking: A Parent's Guide to Effective Discipline". The approach goes hand in hand with all of the concepts in the previously released works.
Uncovering Love's Hidden Truths: A Fresh Look at a Complex Topic
One's entire life is somehow connected to love. Whether "in love" with someone special or simply loving others, we all make life's major decisions based upon our beliefs about the concept. Love is, therefore, a very important thing to understand. But, who provides us with all of this knowledge and advice? Historically, the two main sources have been grandma and Hollywood. It's true. We get married because of pithy sayings from grandmas and touching scenes in chick flicks that make us cry. These pools of information are obviously a bit unreliable when one's entire future is at stake.
This book takes a more intellectual approach. Most readers will see themselves in almost every page mostly because love is something we all feel, have felt or want to feel in the future. This analysis of love is unusual (at times even irritating) but it will make you think. It might even change your life.
Learn about the seven precise steps involved in falling in love. Learn about the five distinct times we are willing to gush "I love you". And sadly, learn about how when things go badly in our love lives, we end up heartbroken. Understanding what heartbreak is and why it is so totally depressing is one of the lessons that will be covered.
Alternatives to SPanking: Eight Simple Rules of Discipline for Parents
One of the truly challenging jobs in life is that of being a parent, yet it’s amazingly easy to get hired for the job. One moment life can be all fun and games but the next moment, lifelong responsibilities are dumped on unsuspecting, unprepared, and untrained people. Many of these “sudden parents” are often highly skilled at other occupations but parenthood is not, necessarily, one of them. Apparently, it is viewed as a job at which we can all naturally succeed. The problem is there are many skills needed in order to be successful. This book is aimed at guiding parents in the task of discipline. It could easily be called a crash course in “parent training.”
There has been and, undoubtedly, always will be a fierce debate about how best to discipline children. With regard to spanking, there are several different philosophies ranging from those who never spank--all the way up the scale to parents who frequently spank and abuse kids in general. This book is dedicated to all children in an attempt to convince parents that spanking is never necessary. The approach begins with the belief that happy children are easier to raise.
Many parents actually believe kids need to be spanked. But there are millions of other people who would rather not do so. Most parents who spank (an estimated 80% of all parents) would avoid spanking if there were a better way. They belong to a massive class of “reluctant spankers.” The question parents need to ask themselves is "If kids could be raised without the need for spanking and other forms of unpleasant and relationship-damaging behavior, wouldn't that be a better approach?”
This is not to suggest that parents allow children to become the rulers of the household because parents should always be in control. The open question is simply, how do parents get and keep that control without the need for spankings? The principles, rules, and hints contained herein are aimed at answering these very questions and at helping parents become non-spankers whenever possible.
