Think you’re doing your kids a favor telling them what
perfect angels they are? Think again. Former
Criminal Prosecutor, mother and stepmother Loni Coombs has
witnessed too many times the shockingly negative effects of
what most parents feel to be the very best parenting
techniques. They think, “I’ll give my children what I never
had, I’ll pave their way to success, I’ll take care of their
problems,” and then they’re blindsided by their children’s
utter helplessness when it comes to thriving in the real
world, their inability to get and keep a job, even their
unexpected run-ins with the law. What went wrong? This book
solves the mystery. "The ugly truth parents need to
face is that telling your children that they are perfect and
shielding them from the consequences of their actions while
insisting that every child gets a first-place trophy is not
good parenting," says Coombs. You’re Perfect… is the
urgent wake-up call that the parents of the “Me Generation”
so desperately need, and the easy-to-implement information
within its pages could change the course of millions of
young lives for the better. You’re Perfect…
is your crash course in real-world parenting and will teach
you: • The dangers you may be exposing your child
to • How to transform your child's self-entitlement
into self-control • How to get your children to
treat you with respect • The warning signs
indicating your child is at risk for delinquency •
How to tackle drug and alcohol problems •
When to invade your child's privacy Whether you’re
holding a newborn in your arms or you’ve got an 18-year-old
spiraling out of control, this is the guide every
parent should have to be prepared for the unexpected and to
protect their children from society’s dangerous pitfalls.
