title: Mommy is the Boss!  A Following Directions Story
author:  Deborah Alexandra 
description: I wrote this book after listening to a mother describe difficulties with power struggles. I knew that her son learned well through stories. And, I have often told clients that parents are "the boss." This story was exactly what I needed to help my client understand that he needed to follow directions. I also had my own children read it because I often remind them that their father and I are the boss.
