Quick Guide to Good Kids

Publisher: Frederick Fell Publishers, Inc.

Being a good parent is more complicated than ever. Kids are exposed to a jungle of dangers: premature sex, underage drinking, drug use, etc. Yet, parents are so busy that many despair of their ability to transform their children into high-functioning adults. In Quick Guide to Good Kids, Virginia Bentz shows how parents can be a strong line of defense for their children. By managing the environment of your offspring when you are with them, you'll help ensure that they make the right decisions when you aren't.
