The Parenting Old School blog is an extension of All About Baby Shop. The author of the blog is Keith Rispin, a parent of 10 + years and a 15 year teaching veteran who specializes in working with at risk youth. It is from this unique perspective along with his own no nonsense upbringing that Keith makes old school parenting new again.
Keith writes from the perspective that parenting has become far too permissive in the past 20 years and tries to to shed some light on the absurdity of today’s soft and over indulgent parenting styles. Keith believes that a parents role is to say “No” more than “Yes” and that disappointment and a few tears never hurt anyone and is part of a good old fashioned upbringing.
Regardless of your perspective on parenting and how best to raise your children, we hope you will find something to either like, love or even absolutely despise. It is only through dialog about the differences in our perspectives that we can make the world a better place for ourselves and our children.
Hi, I really like this site. It is refreshing to know that I’m not the only one in the world who take the “old-school” approach. I feel the approach was used on me as a kid, and I turned out okay, so why not use the same ideas my parents used. Of course I don’t whupp behinds like they did, which is good. I look forward to reading your site.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks for your comment and kind words, yes there are still some old school guy s and gals still around and I think there will soon be more. The Pendulum has swung so far the wimpy namby pamby side of things that there is beginning to be a bit of a backlash.
Stick with our old school parenting and be secure in the knowledge that old school is the only way to raise your kids.
Hey Keith, is there an email I can contact you at? I would like to take you up on your comment that you would offer me any help you could with my blog. I’d just like to ask you a few questions. Thanks and I hope to hear from you.

Keith, I really like your blog. I look forward to more of your perspective. Keep up the great job!
im not even a parent im here because i think having a kid may have been the worst thing to happen to my sister. It scares me to death when i see her with her child, she thinks she is doing the best job in the world but she is destroying her child with a insanity to attend to every single micro need. I cant get her to stop for one second to see this and my family of dim wits just applauds the little prince mentality. When i look at him i can see the seeds being planted to a neurotic pleasure seeking instant gratification teenage entitled psycho path. When i look in her eyes i feel like she knows exactly what im thinking about and that bothers me the most. Why cant she make the damn connection. this site is great for people that can see the light because its scary whats coming around the bend with this next generation. i think that most people who tend to have kids tend to be people who arent thinking clearly. To the people who are you are doing a great job and i applaud you.
