Book Review of Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days

reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


This is a great read for teachers, as well as, obviously, parents! My husband and I do not have children, but I have been a music teacher for 11+ years, and I find gems of practical, teaching and advice in this amazing book! I also have a growing number of nieces and nephews, and this book has given me a new baseline approach for what is culturally acceptable behavior in a child and what is ok to not tolerate. (Sometimes, I wonder where that line is, not being a parent!) I can also give relevant advice to my own friends who have kids who may be struggling in the common areas outlined in this book. It seems to be a great and timely book for our American culture, if we ever have kids, at least I have 1 sturdy book on my shelf to reference!
