The book that shows you how to create the family life you want—by parents who’ve learned by raising ten sons!

Catherine Musco Garcia-Prats and Joseph A. Garcia-Prats, M.D. would be remarkable if only for the fact that they have ten sons (ages one through nineteen). But what’s really impressive is that they’ve succeeded at raising ten “good kids” who are not only successful at both their studies and sports—but are respectful, compassionate, and responsible—and active participants in the nurturing, cooperative, mutually-supportive “working together” that helps families thrive.

Good Families Don’t Just Happen is their program for creating a happy, organized family—despite the inevitable conflicts, crises, and sacrifices that all families encounter. With simple advice and easy-to-follow principles that help you make your family run as smoothly as a well-managed organization, they provide the tools and the inspiration you need to create your own “good family.”

Catherine Musco Garcia-Prats, a former first grade teacher, is an internationally recognized author and speaker on parenting, family and marriage.

Joseph A. Garcia-Prats, M.D. is a neonatologist and professor of Pediatrics and Ethics at Baylor College of Medicine and medical director of the Arnold J. Rudolph Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Ben Taub General Hospital in Houston, Texas.
