Covers every parenting topic

How to avoid raising badly behaved kids? Essie Knuckle and Mittie Glymph's light-hearted Other People's Rotten Kids covers every parenting topic from kids' raging hormones to kids placing the blame on other kids for bad behavior/ Essie and Mittie demonstrates their advice and recommendations with sharp pointed observations mixed with humor noting that the problem of badly behaving children doesn't always lie in the house nextdoor.

Are your kids rotten?

Have you taken a really harsh look at the type of kids you are raising lately? Are you providing the proper environment for them to thrive in? Are there external forces that could be hampering your progress? If you're not sure, then take a look at OTHER PEOPLE'S ROTTEN KIDS by Essie P. Knuckle and Mittie P. Glymph. They have taken an in depth and often humorous look at all those things that can influence a child's healthy development. The book is divided into three short sections. Within these sections, parents learn the characteristics and influences on a child's life that can produce rotten kids. Also, parents are shown how they contribute to their children's character and how negative communities can impact kid's lives. Knuckle and Glymph have written a nice guide for parents that explain how kids get to be rotten kids and how we as parents can deter that behavior. The authors admit they have not participated in the total rearing process of children themselves, but have used a lot of their clinical experience gained in their work with hospitals, schools and prisons. A lot of the advice was practical and very easy to use. I found them to be easily transportable in dealing with children located anywhere. I did encounter a few editing problems that made the reading a little difficult at times, but I would encourage parents to pick up a copy of this book. It may help you identify some thing that you are doing that is causing the rotten behavior in your child. Reviewed by Brenda M. Lisbonof The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
