But the popularity of TV programs like Supernanny and Nanny 911 shows that parents have had it up to here and are ready to try anything to get their children to behave. Bestselling author and psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman is here to help. Have a New Kid by Friday shows parents how to reverse negative behavior in their children--fast! With his signature wit and encouragement, Dr. Leman offers hope and real, practical, doable strategies for regaining control and becoming the parents they always wanted to be. Focusing on changing a child's attitude, behavior, and character, it contains chapters for each day of the week and a special section with advice on everything from rolling eyes to sibling rivalry to talking back to punching walls and much, much more. This large section of more than 100 specific topics is indexed, allowing parents to flip immediately to any areas of concern for witty, straightforward, and gutsy plans of action. EXCERPT FROM CATALOG I've got news for you. Since the beginning of time, kids have been unionized, and they've got a game plan to drive you bonkers. Don't believe it? Take a look around….In today's society, kids even shorter than a yardstick are calling the shots. Some hedonistic little suckers of the ankle-biter battalion have even graduated to emeritus status and are holding down the hormone group division. Then there's the already-adult children who return home to your cozy little nest and stay and stay and stay…. You know all about that. If you picked up this book, you picked it up for a reason. You'd like to see a few things--or maybe many--change in your house. You may have small concerns, or big concerns, about your child at this point.… I'll be blunt. You got a big job to do as a parent, and a short window to do it in. If you believe that you, as a parent, are to be in healthy authority over your child, this book is for you. If you don't believe that you, as a parent, are to be in healthy authority over your child, put this book down right now and buy another.… But I've got a Midas muffler guarantee for you. If you stick to the simple strategies in this book--strategies that any parent can carry out--you'll have a new kid by Friday. You can have a great kid, and you can be a great parent. Your relationship with your child can change in just one week. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Mom of Terribly Two--Bought to Try Something New!Wonderful! I used this book along with Making Children Mind without Losing Yours. I bought these books out of frustration with my terribly two son. I wanted new ideas or suggestions in dealing with him, but more than anything to grow positively as a parent. I started the other book first, but began this one on the following Monday. I highly suggest reading both together, especially if you feel a little frustrated. I definitely lucked out finding this book. It was an answered prayer. We have a totally ... Read More Rating: - A Fabulous and Funny Book!This has to be one of the most enjoyable books on being a real PARENT that I have read... ever. I recommend it to anyone who deals with children. (I have been teaching for 22 years, and I hear my own parents' voices loud and clear in this book!) It's full of funny (because we have all been there) stories and common sense advice about being an ADULT who cares for children. The book reads quickly! You can't stop reading until it's over! It's THAT good! Rating: - Wish I'd had this book 20 years ago!As a mother of four adult children and a (young) grandmother of four, I knew I wanted this book! By the time my strong-willed toddlers had become teens I had painted myself into a corner with popular "democratic" parenting techniques that eroded my confidence and credibility. Though I had the good sense to balance my limited parenting skills with boatloads of prayer, this doctor's prescription would certainly have saved some gray hairs! With his classic humor and encouraging style Dr. Leman offers ... Read More Rating: - A must-read for all parents!Wow! What a difference Dr. Leman has made in our parenting! These simple techniques are more effective than I ever imagined they would be, and I've already got all my girlfriends putting them in action. He offers practical, easy-to-follow advice that can be applied without yelling, and without threats. We could actually see a difference in our kids in only a few days. Don't pass up this opportunity to take the relationship you have with your kids to the next level. The newfound peace ... Read More Rating: - Several new kids!Excellent book! I am the mom of 11- and 15-year old boys, 17- and 19-year old girls (one away at college). I read the book in three days and began to implement the straight-forward suggestions. I saw results in one day! After two days my 15-year-old son asked if I was trying out what I was reading. I told him I was and asked what he noticed. He said, "Well, we are arguing with you a lot less." Music to my ears!!! I am no longer a frustrated mom. Being tough is sometimes hard but it pays off in the long ... Read More |
