Welcome, brave parent. You've made it through the diaper years, survived the "Why?" phase, and somehow convinced a tiny human that vegetables are not poison. Now comes the real work.
Ten is a magic number. It's the last year of single digits, the threshold before hormones hit, and your final chance to install the operating system before outside influences start downloading questionable apps. After ten, you're mostly doing software updates and damage control.
This book isn't about creating perfect children-those don't exist, and they'd be insufferable at parties. This is about giving your kids the tools they need to become decent humans who can function in society without making strangers whisper, "Where are that child's parents?"
