    About this ebook

    Anyone who has dealt with a strong-willed child knows that it is no easy task to turn bad behavior around. But the popularity of TV programs like Supernanny and Nanny 911 shows that parents have had it up to here and are ready to try anything to get their children to behave. Bestselling author and psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman is here to help.
    Have a New Kid by Friday shows parents how to reverse negative behavior in their children--fast! With his signature wit and encouragement, Dr. Leman offers hope and real, practical, doable strategies for regaining control and becoming the parents they always wanted to be. Focusing on changing a child's attitude, behavior, and character, it contains chapters for each day of the week and a special section with advice on everything from rolling eyes to sibling rivalry to talking back to punching walls and much, much more. This large section of more than 100 specific topics is indexed, allowing parents to flip immediately to any areas of concern for witty, straightforward, and gutsy plans of action.

      I have to agree with another reader - the title should be something like "How to Be a Better Wife" and while it raises some valid points - yes men like sex and probably want more than you are giving him, it is very simplistic in its outlook and I'm not sure it gives men quite enough credit, men are largely reduced to stereotypes. It also puts almost the entire onus for the emotional health of the marriage on the wife and while I whole heartedly believe in supporting and respecting my husband I do expect the same in return. It makes interesting reading, another way to look at your relationship but I wouldn't take it too seriously.

      This book is honest, funny, and down to earth. It is about how our behavior and how you treat your husband reflects how he will in return treat you. I highly recomend it. It was a great teaching tool. I recomend you hide the title until He understands your not trying to turn him into your little puppet!! :)

      After the first day (titled "Secrets Revealed") I was beginning to understand how this was going to work. It's not about just changing him but it's about changes you can make as a wife that directly affect how he reacts to you. Day two (titled "Creatures from Another Planet...or Creatures of Habit") was a real eye opener. There are so many things explained about the male behavior that I just didn't get before. I found myself discussing this book with my husband just to verify that the things tought and explained were in fact true. This book gives great insight into the male mind. With just a few behavior changes on my part by Wednsday I was already seeing some changes in my husband. This book is a great read. I highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to change their husband. This is a book that I will most likely read again and again!
