“John Rosemond is admired for his traditional parenting approach and is a huge proponent of instilling discipline in the classrooms so teachers can teach,” she said.
Rosemond has worked with families, children and parents since 1971 in the field of family psychology. He holds his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
