Description In Favor Of Books The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families—How They Do It
This practical, positive book reveals the many parenting strategies that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar use as they preside over America’s best-known mega-family.Each time a new baby arrives, the press from around the world clamors for interviews and information. Visitors are amazed to find seventeen (baby number eighteen is due January 1, 2009) well-groomed, well-behaved, well-schooled children in a home that focuses on family, financial responsibility, fun—and must importantly, faith.
Readers will learn about the Duggars’ marriage—how they communicate effectively, make family decisions, and find quality time alone. They’ll discover how the Duggars manage to educate all their children at home, while providing experiences that go beyond the family walls, through vacations and educational trips. And they’ll see how the Duggar family manages their finances and lives debt-free—even when they built their own 7,000-square-foot house.
Answering the oft asked question—How can I do with one or two children what you do with seventeen(soon to be eighteen)?—Jim Bob and Michelle reveal how they create a warm and welcoming home filled with what Michelle calls “serene chaos.” They show how other parents can succeed whether they’re rearing a single child or several. With spiritual insights, experience-based wisdom, practical tips, and plenty of humorous and tender anecdotes, the Duggars answer the questions that pour into the family’s Web site on a daily basis—especially after every national media interview and TV appearance—including their segments on the Discovery Health Channel’s “Meet the Duggars” series.

Was it the same phenomenon that causes people to flock to the scene of an accident, or was it a combination of curiosity and admiration of how this family is able to have that many kids and love and care for them all that led me to read this book? Probably a little of both!I really enjoyed this book. The Duggar parents have written a great resource that simultaneously tells their family story and shares the parenting philosophies and practices that have worked for them in raising their manyI enjoyed reading this book. I saw one of their episodes on my mom's TV (the one about their house being built) and it was the first time I'd ever heard of them. I didn't hear much more about them til their latest baby ended up in the hospital. I dont' really see why people get so upset about other people living their own lives to the best of their conscience. The whole 'overpopulation' myth has been debunked for ages. Everyone is going to do something you don't like or agree with. Someone made
When I first heard of the Duggar family, my initial reaction was 'How the heck can someone have so many kids???' I watched them on some of their Discovery Channel episodes. When I heard the book had come out, I was curious as to see what they had to say about themselves.Yes, there are some things I disagree with them on. There's nothing wrong with birth control, I hope that their daughters at least make that decision for themselves, that they realize that they don't have to have so many children
How they do it??? I have enough trouble with the frequency of them doing it! The LAST thing I need to know is HOW they do it!GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!Something tells me after 20 kids, it's like....ACK! Nevermind!
It seems that a lot of people share my fascination with the Duggar family, and with good reason -- they've done some thing phenomenal: they've turned the seemingly daunting task of parenting so many children into the image of an idyllic family lifestyle. And they've entered the public sphere, and their own dose of celebrity, without any of the drama that accompanies Jon & Kate, among others. What's their secret? There may be no simple answer to that question, but in this book they lay out
Yeah, I read it. You got something to say about that?Let's clear something up right away. I have absolutely zero desire to have 75 kids, and after reading this book that desire has probably gone down. We don't have cable TV, so I've never seen one of their shows, but I heard a glowing review of this book, rolled my eyes, and thought I'd check it out. The up sides to this -- they are incredibly organized and unashamed of their faith. No one could deny that they love the Lord and aren't afraid to
I guess you could say the Duggars are my guilty pleasure; I watch their show 18 Kids and Counting, previously titled 17 Kids and Counting, religiously and Ive seen all the specials on their lives, starting with 14 Kids and Pregnant Again. I can also recite the names of their children in order all the way from Joshua to Jordyn-Grace. {Just reread that and just realized how creepy that sounds.)Although I fundamentally disagree with everything the stand for, I find their family utterly
