A FIX-THE-WAY-YOU-PARENT GUIDE FOR RAISING BETTER KIDS FROM THE STRAIGHT-TALKING, BESTSELLING PITBULL OF PARENTING, LARRY WINGET.
Being a parent is the toughest job in the world, especially with the increasing number of negative influences and pitfalls that face our kids today, from childhood obesity and out-of-control celebrity culture to the dangers of the Internet and credit card debt. Larry Winget has never been one to shy away from tough truths, and what he says here may be difficult for some parents to swallow: We are in the midst of a crisis with our kids.
Well-behaved, respectful kids are increasingly the exception, not the rule, and it's time for parents to take a stand. Larry Winget's message to parents: Teach your kids to become the best adults they can be. But don't expect your kids to improve until you improve. He teaches us that good parenting is about taking responsibility for your kid's success and parenting with a plan: begin with the end in mind and with a vision of the kind of adult you want to raise.
Your Kids Are Your Own Fault includes lessons on money, careers, and goal setting, all on a level where they can be taught to children. Parents: This book will show you how to design the adult you want your kid to become and how to work backward to make sure that it happens. Kids don't come with an instruction manual, but finally being a parent does!
