In Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World, acclaimed Catholic psychologist Dr. Ray Guarendi offers parents a roadmap through this difficult and sometimes frightening terrain.

Dr. Ray brings to bear his decades of clinical experience—and his experience as a father of ten—with some of the hardest questions of modern parenting:

  • How do you manage kids’ access to pop culture—and to the corporations who all want a piece of their allowance?
  • How do you respond to others, including your own family, who don’t approve of your countercultural parenting?
  • How do you handle the overabundance of stuff—toys, clothes, technology—that clogs up your family’s everyday life?
  • When do you give (or take away) a smartphone?
  • How much freedom do you give your kids to choose their own friends—and when do you step in when they make wrong choices?
  • What are the habits of mind you need to form in them so they can stand strong against a morally and spiritually corrosive culture?

Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World is a clarion call for strong, confident parenting in confusing times. More importantly, Dr. Ray gives you the resources to grow in that confidence: the knowledge of an expert, the insight of an experienced clinician, and the wisdom of decades of fatherhood. This is a book for parents who aim to form children who value the things of God, no matter the work and the effort. Dr. Ray is here to tell you: it’s worth it.

without losing your mind

In our toxic culture, it increasingly seems as if raising children in the Faith is a losing battle. Perhaps your spouse wishes you were more “fun” than religious, or your peers challenge you in your beliefs. Concerns related to faith can become touchy topics for today’s believers, especially when questions arise regarding your views on family life or your approach to raising children.

without losing your mind

In our toxic culture, it increasingly seems as if raising children in the Faith is a losing battle. Perhaps your spouse wishes you were more “fun” than religious, or your peers challenge you in your beliefs. Concerns related to faith can become touchy topics for today’s believers, especially when questions arise regarding your views on family life or your approach to raising children.

With his rare voice of reason and characteristic humor, popular television and radio host Dr. Ray Guarendi provides you with sound practical and spiritual wisdom and expertise as a clinical psychologist and father of ten. In these engaging pages, Dr. Ray addresses numerous issues, such as:

  • How can I live my faith better, especially with those closest to me?
  • What to do when children ask: Why do we have to go to church when Dad doesn’t?
  • Should adolescents be required to go to Mass if they don’t want to?
  • What should I do when my adult children aren’t living the Faith?

Dr. Ray lays out ways in which parents can witness to their beliefs, even in broken marriages. He explains how to respond when your children’s faith is threatened at school or by peers who don’t share your beliefs or mindset.

Let Dr. Ray show you how to effectively live your faith and share it convincingly and peacefully with those you love.

Teens are “full of life, enthusiasm, energy, and laughter,” Dr. Ray asserts, in defiance of a culture that conditions us to expect a far gloomier reality. Too often, the world tells parents to be content with mediocrity instead of the prospect of raising respectful and responsible children with strong character.

In a lively question-and-answer format, Dr. Ray unpacks issues ranging from sibling relationships and peer pressure to curfews and chores to overcoming backtalk and teaching your kids to avoid drugs.

Teens are “full of life, enthusiasm, energy, and laughter,” Dr. Ray asserts, in defiance of a culture that conditions us to expect a far gloomier reality. Too often, the world tells parents to be content with mediocrity instead of the prospect of raising respectful and responsible children with strong character.

In a lively question-and-answer format, Dr. Ray unpacks issues ranging from sibling relationships and peer pressure to curfews and chores to overcoming backtalk and teaching your kids to avoid drugs. He equips parents to give their teens a safer, more stable adolescence and help them develop virtues for a lifetime with practical approaches such as:

  • Three techniques for becoming a calmer parent
  • Five ways to monitor your child’s use of technology
  • Four simple house rules that lead to success
  • A strategy to motivate underachievers

You will also learn key sayings for communicating more effectively with your teens. In addition, you will find out specific ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your kids. Most significantly, you will learn how to help your children treat you with respect, a habit they will then develop in their relationships with others as well. As you grow in becoming a stronger parent with calm, loving resolve, you will learn how to foster quality time with your teens and have real fun together.

This book is wise, perceptive, and laugh-out-loud funny. Dr. Ray uses his trademark humor-with-a-dash-of-sarcasm to give those parents who are barely treading water some good, sound, logical advice to change the tone and tenor of their households for the better.

With his rich, tenfold experience as a father, Dr. Ray gives guidance that will help you gain confidence in molding and instructing your own children. Through his many absorbing anecdotes, you will learn how to act with calm authority whether with a disrespectful teen or a tantrum-throwing toddler.

Through parenting, Dr. Ray learned to avoid labels and to respect each child’s temperament. He reinforces how with each child you can become a better parent.

You will learn, as he did, to be better able to stand strong in God’s grace and trust in His plan if your children have special needs. You will be moved by stories of children who were affected by serious health issues, substance abuse, and unstable foster-care placement. You will also learn:

  • Why stronger parents, who act more and lecture less, have smoother family lives
  • How “the look” is a form of classical conditioning that helps convey authority
  • The power of affection to show your children your love
  • To present a united front as parents and not be manipulated by your children
  • How perseverance and consistency in setting and enforcing expectations pays off
  • To resolve (and avoid) conflicts, teach respect and manners, and much more

Most strikingly, you will see God’s providence at work in forming your family. You will grow in resolve and wisdom to guide your children when young and give them wings to fly when older.

As a father of ten, clinical psychologist, radio host and author of many books about marriage and parenting, Dr. Ray has spent his career helping to strengthen families through a combination of Catholic theology, common-sense insights and wry humor. Now, having become a new grandpa himself, Dr. Ray is turning his attention to the joyful, rejuvenating and sometimes complicated subject of grandparenting.

In Grandparenting: Just Like Parenting Only Different, he answers real questions from grands. Some wonder how being a grandparent will differ from being a parent, and want to mature into it with as few wrinkles as possible. Some are a daily presence in their grandchildren’s lives, perhaps even sharing a home with them and wanting their interactions to be as smooth as possible. Others live many miles away and fear yielding to the temptation of bribery to endear their distant grandbabies to them. Some are baffled as to why their own children are raising the grandkids so unlike they were raised—in practice, discipline or morals. Others see their grandchildren as difficult to be around, and ask what, if anything, they can do about it.
