Product Description
Fox News host and busy mother of eight E. D. Hill offers the antidote to permissive parenting by giving parents permission to be in charge. Instructional and conversational, I'm Not Your Friend, I'm Your Parent challenges parents to reclaim their roles, make the hard decisions, and put their children's characters and well-being ahead of peer pressue and social status. With entertaining stories from her own family and those of others she has encountered in her profession as a journalist, E. D. tackles parental challenges: - Manners: thank you and other common courtesies
- Discipline: tantrums and time-outs
- Money: chores and allowances
- Sportsmanship: fair vs. foul
- Clothing: fashion and dress codes
- Teenagers: structure and consequences
- Includes a special chapter on Driving, Dating, and other Death-Defying Feats along with contracts for use with teens

Good read. Slowed down in value towards the end, but should be required reading for all of today's parents with children aged 5 to 20. If all the suggestions offered were followed we'd have have token misbehaving offspring.

E.D. Hill hits the mark with this book. Every parent should be reading this book. It's a basic, common sense book on child rearing. Ms. Hill has a great sense of real values, this book is not for the politically correct, liberal minded, my kid can do anything they want crowd. This book is for parents who want to teach their children real values and a good work ethic.
Good job E.D.

I loved this books. It's jam-packed with practical tips, common sense advise, and wonderful quotes. I agree with another reviewer: it's time more parents learn how to be parents! Kudos to Ms. Hill for writing a book with such a great message and hope for parents.
