Family Rules: Helping Stepfamilies and Single Parents Build Happy Homes

Parenting today is tougher than ever before. More than 60% of American families are divorced, repartnered, or single parent households. In 80% of couples, both partners work outside the home. Parents everywhere feel overwhelmed, and worse, so do their kids. "Family Rules" is an extraordinary book that will bring back an orderly, well-run household, where people are respectful and polite, share the housework, and actually enjoy being together!

The secret is straightforward, no-nonsense principles that make meals, bedtime, after school, leisure activities, and even the busiest mornings orderly, predictable, and manageable. This book incorporates essential lessons for making house rules work, including how to: set them up in your house; enforce rules the first time, and every time; establish them for kids shuttling between two households; use rules to make dinner special every night; know the ones that must never be broken -- especially by you; and more.

"Family Rules" not only provides the tools you need to create a happy, well-run family, but the parenting skills to develop character, self-discipline, and self-esteem in children. Easy to institute and easy to follow, "Family Rules" are the best way to bring stability and tranquillity to your home.
