Raising Kids Right

This book was recommended to my wife in a daycare teachers group. Each chapter has its own subject such as Bed times, Tantrums, TV, Cleaning their room... and each chapter is about 3 pages long. Written by an ex-teacher its amusing anecdotes include her students and her family and the solid advice can't be beat.

If you are the parent of kindergarten through 8th grade children, you'll want to keep this book handy. Karen Robertson's, Raising Kids Right, refreshingly simple advice to help take the frustration out of raising children." Immediate advice is available by just flipping through the table of contents. Just a few titles in this 31 chapter/112 page book include: Whose Turn in the Bathroom, I Don't Have a Thing to Wear, and "Mom, Tell Jason to Stop Buggin Me." Each chapter takes only minutes to read and has stories of everyday problems that Karen and her children encountered. It is written with love, in the hopes of helping parents cope with small problems before they excalate into bigger problems. Solutions are practical and easily followed through. Karen has had over 800 students in her teaching carreer, plus she is the mother of two grown children, who are the subjects of her book. This book is worth the wait for a special order.
