John is one of America’s most in demand public speakers, and the busiest by far in the parenting field. In a typical year, John gives more than 150 presentations to parent, teacher, and helping-professional groups nationwide. His talks and workshops – which are filled with humor, factual information, and practical advice – receive consistently superlative ratings.
After writing ten books for Andrews McMeel, John wrote his first faith-based parenting book, Parenting by The Book, which was published by Howard Books (a subsidiary of Simon and Schuster) in 2007. In less than six months, PbTB sold so well that John was lured, willingly, into a three-book deal with Thomas Nelson, the biggest Christian publisher in the world. His first book for TN, The Diseasing of America’s Children: Exposing the ADHD Fiasco and Empowering Parents to Take Back Control, written with pediatrician Dr. Bose Ravenel, will be published in September 2008. Next will come The Well-Behaved Child: Discipline that Really Works! (Note to other parenting authors: The title is trademarked, so don’t even think of appropriating it!!!) and then John and Diane Kottakis’ long-awaited treatise on toilet training, the title of which cannot be revealed at this time because of national security concerns.
At present, John’s nationally-syndicated parenting column appears weekly in more than 200 newspapers nationwide including The Charlotte Observer, Miami Herald, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Hartford Courant, Omaha World-Herald, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Raleigh News and Observer, Durham Herald, and Albuquerque Journal. “All the best papers,” John remarks, noting that the way a newspaper earns the status of “best” is to run his column (see Does Your Newspaper Run John’s Column? at the bottom of the Home page).
John is most definitely one of America’s most popular speakers in the parenting field. In a given year, he gives more than 150 talks to parent and professional audiences all over the map. His talks are provocative, informative, and always entertaining. John promises that his audiences will laugh…a lot.
John’s workshops range from Parenting the Strong-Willed Child to Motivating the Underachiever. John will be speaking at St. Peter’s on Sunday, November 8 from 4-6 PM. Childcare will be provided from children up to grade 6.

I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed John Rosemond and were able to attend. Unfortunately, John does not allow the circulation of recordings of his talks. You can receive more information and resources at http://www.rosemond.com. Also, we have considered bringing John back to do a longer weekend at a later date. I will be glad to add your name to the list of possible participants should we proceed with this plan.
