Title: Have common sense, don't buy this book
Review: This book is an outline of spoiled kids who overindulge in sex, drugs, disobedience and basic boredom. The author's answer is to push your kids harder, but not too hard....spend more time with your kids, eat dinner with your kids, pay attention to who their friends are, hold them accountable for their actions etc. Basic common sense. I was really put off by the idea that if the parent can't be around, they might think of hiring a good nanny to do the job for them. I might also add (all on my own, not in the book!) think about going to church regularly, check your child's homework everyday. Model good behavior. One parent might even consider a part time job or staying at home instead of both parents working full time. I know, a novel idea in this day and age. Try getting Parenting with Love and Logic---a great book with proven results that we have used with our 5 kids for years.
