Whether one's child really is a brat, is at risk of becoming one, or is simply trying to grow up in a world filled with temptations and distractions, this book is a must have. It's the ultimate hands-on parenting guide designed to cultivate character traits that are tried and tested brat busters, including gratitude, respect, honesty, independence and self-reliance, among others. Full of the no-nonsense and practical "Tips and Scripts" Braun has become known for, You're Not the Boss of Me offers just the help parents need to deal with many of the more challenging behaviors typical of 4-12 year olds. With Betsy Brown Braun's humorous, supportive and authoritative voice as a guide, parents can finally navigate some of the most exasperating aspects of these formative years and lay the groundwork for their child's future with confidence. Also included in the book's appendix are such useful added features as the 100 ways parents can say "good job!" without giving monetary or material reward, the 52 everyday parental actions that serve as a cure for affluenza, and tips on drafting a personal and meaningful "ethical will" for your child that defines a code of conduct parents wish to leave by and thus leave to their child by example.
