“At last, someone is telling parents it’s better to raise a kid for success in life than to be cool in the 7th grade. If your family is teetering at the brink of today’s culture of cool (or even if you’ve been swallowed whole), pick up this book. Marybeth Hicks has emerged from the trenches to endorse common sense and courage in parenting.”
