Talk:John Rosemond

What other parenting experts say about Rosemond
“John Rosemond is one of the few psychologists I’ve ever met who always makes sense. This is the best common-sense guide to parenting I’ve read in a long time.”

John Rosemond is NOT a psychologist. He has a masters degree, not a Ph.D. and cannot call himself, nor is he trained as, a psychologist. Per his own state licensing guidelines, he can call himself a psychologial associate. If he wants to practice (treat patients) he has to do so under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infrequentflier (talk • contribs) 18:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Jane L. Rankin, author of Parenting Experts, describes and evaluates the recommendations of five parenting experts. After reviewing the experts' recommendations and comparing them with recommendations of research, she made this observation: "What is unusual about Rosemond as a parenting expert is that he gives specific advice that so often turns out to be wrong. His Better Homes columns were studies in moderation, but over time and across outlets, he has begun increasingly to define himself against other professionals and against societal trends of which he disapproves. On key issues he has changed positions radically in directions away from research findings and toward the sensibilities of a narrower, more conservative audience" (p. 242). Rankin also notes Rosemond's lack of credentials and "his inaccurate advice and position changes" (p. 242).

Never mind about biography
It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I need to go eat lunch and rejoin the real world. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 17:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

unencyclopedic
this does not fit wikipedia's standards at all. it should be completely rewritten. i tried to take away the most egregious things, but it's still a horrible article. 68.96.245.137 (talk) 13:29, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Terribly incomplete. No mention at all of the fact that he's estranged from both his parents and his children. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.76.120 (talk) 04:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Rosemond’s History
It seems a lot of information about Mr. Rosemond has been edited out or never included. He has had some controversy regarding his qualifications, views, and even relationship with his mother. These issues are relevant and should be included so that someone seeking parenting advice can research the source. While scrubbing information from a Wiki may make the subject feel better it is a disservice to Wikipedia users. 2605:A601:5588:A800:B097:78C2:AEB9:1D44 (talk) 09:11, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
