Here are some of the ways this book will be of help: * Interviews with prisoners offer an explanation of why most children listen to their friends and not their parents, * The text takes a close look at how impractical it is for single parents to work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours, and spend less than 8 hours a day raising their children, * Tips on effective communication with children helps parents speak to be understood and listen to understand. The text also answers questions such as: What should parents tell children found with large sums of money? And what should parents do when their child is involved in the sale and/or use of drugs?
