Have a New Kid by Friday by Kevin Leman (2008)

I can relate to this book in many ways. Although I have not even got half way though the book I have already learned different ways to handle the situation.
I just wanted to say Thanks.

Great transaction- arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I would buy from this seller again. it was a gift to my daughter, so I was pleased that it came on time to read on her beach vacation.

I bought the book after author appeared on Today show. It provides simple solutions to not so simple problems. It does however get the parent options to problems that seem unsurmountable. A must read for parents with problem children and maybe especially teens. It is not the solution but opens the door to solving problems

Once I got the book I could not wait to begin to read it. Though I am slow at picking things up (no time for me) I read the first few chapters and began implementing the changes immediately. It was a rough start at first because I had to change me. That was the hardest thing, though I still have some things to work on my family I can finally say I actually am not embarassed to take us out together as family any longer. My daughter helps around the house without being asked, my oldest son actually is beginning to understand you do not have to whine to ask for something, my husband actually did his own dishes and the best of all I am looking forward to my youngest son getting older and respecting me and for the first time ever grow up without any screaming from me. This was the best money ever spent for my family and myself!

This is a very good book for any parent to read! Down-to-earth and easy to implement, Leman delivers wonderful advice on how to handle nearly any situation you may face as a parent. This book has helped me to quit nagging my children and become a more positive mother. And the kids are actually better-behaved as a result! It has worked equally well for my two-year old as well as my 12-year old.

Wonderful book. A must read for all parents. I truly enyoyed reading the author's approach on shaping your child's character.

Dr. Leman's ewest book is a straight forward common sense way for us parents to make subtle changes that can dramatically affect our children's behavior. He gives many examples of poor behavior as well as behavior that we as parents aren't really sure warrants action.

As we are creatures of habit, it does take longer than a week, but many of his techniques, you can begin with immediately. This is a well written, light hearted version of "train the parent to have better behaved children". I truly enjoyed this one and my 8 yr old was quite taken by the title.
