Synopsis

A spoiled child can turn her parents and a home inside out. But loving parents' concerns go beyond their own frustration and fatigue. They fear for their child's future. Spoiled children are prone to depression and anxiety, and can grow into spoiled teens and adults unable to handle life. In plain English, being spoiled can make for a lot of unhappiness, now and later. Fortunately, unlike a spoiled pear, a spoiled child can be unspoiled. By revealing the strategies that have worked for other parents, Richard Bromfield has fashioned a method that's simple, straightforward, and doable. As a bonus, this approach can also benefit many children who have greater troubles, who now go by assorted names such as distractible, impulsive, bipolar, difficult, and oppositional. How to Unspoil Your Child Fast is an easy and enjoyable read that can wield great power to unspoil your child and restore balance to your parenting and home.
