From A Press Release
Book Description


Have you seen the toddler who cries until she wears her mother down and gets to go not only once but three times on the carousel? The defiant 16-year-old who flips off her dad for not giving her money for a movie, then demands the car keys for the evening? The 7-year-old who gives his mom the "I dare you to do anything about it" glare as he pushes the broccoli off his plate and watches it fall to the floor of the restaurant?

In today's society, even children shorter than a yardstick are calling the shots. And then what do they become when they're grown up? They're part of the entitlement group - they expect anything and everything good to come their way, with no work on their part, just because they exist. And you, as their parents, are exhausted.

Internationally-known psychologist, humorist and bestselling author, Dr. Kevin Leman, has a proven plan guaranteed to help parents win the battle of wills. Dr. Leman shows how to reverse negative behavior in children - fast-- in his new book, Have a New Kid by Friday.

With his signature wit and and encouragement, Dr. Leman offers hope and proven practical strategies for regaining control and becoming the parent you want to be. By the end of the week, parents will get to celebrate the "Fun Day" Dr. Leman promises.

The plan of action for the week includes:
  1. On Monday - Dr. Leman reveals what your kid's life strategy really is - and why he or she continues to drive you bonkers.
  2. On Tuesday - Dr. Leman shares the three most important things every parent wants for their child - and how to teach them in a way the child will never forget.
  3. On Wednesday - He'll help you decide who you want your child to be and what kind of parent you want to be with his time-tested "Three Simple Strategies for Success."
  4. On Thursday - You will learn to identify the three pillars of true self-worth and how to develop them in your child.
  5. On Friday - You get to be the shrink. After reviewing the principles and action plan you've been developing since Monday, you will get ready to launch it upon your unsuspecting child.
Also included in Have a New Kid by Friday is a valuable A to Z appendix (taking up almost half the book) that offers straightforward advice and gutsy plans of action on over 100 of the hottest parenting topics. Using the principles described in first half of the book, Dr. Leman provides specific strategies for the issues parents face every day. Negative behavior topics addressed include everything from bed-wetting to rolling eyes to talking back to punching walls and much, much more.

Dr. Leman says, "In Have a New Kid by Friday, I've taken nearly four decades of marriage and parenting experience - and combined it all into one book. I've done this because I care about your family. I want you to experience a home where all the family members love and respect each other. Your children deserve that. You deserve that. 'My hope is that when you finish reading this new book you will say, 'I can't wait for my kids to misbehave. I'm ready for them!.'"
