Summary: An action-oriented book for parents who are sick of ATTITUDE
Comment: What makes Michele Borba's books so successful -- and so inspiring -- is the action-oriented approach she takes to various parenting topics. In Don't Give Me That Attitude!, Michele provides detailed action plans for tackling everything from laziness to manipulation to selfishness. I was particularly impressed by the material on combating cruelty in kids and, having heard Michele speak on this issue at a recent parenting workshop, I know her call to action on this issue is very much from the heart. I predict that this is going to be one of the very best parenting books we see this year. An absolute must read!

Summary: Realistic & practical ways to boost kids' character.
Comment: I'm a real fan of Michele Borba's books so I must admit I've been waiting for Don't Give Me That Attitude! This one is one of her best. I'm a counselor and deal with kids with "attitudes" (though most parents would call them behavior problems) -- manipulative, defiant, cheating, arrogant, you name it. The problem is there really wasn't much out there in the way of specifics to help parents. But these makeovers for bad attitudes are realistic and specific. There are so many strategies and ideas .. checklists.. resources.. and stepby step guidelines. The only thing I'd caution a parent about is not to think you have to do it all. Just turn to the attitude you think needs tuning up -- and dig in. The book is a goldmine!~

Summary: Highly Recommended For All Parents
Comment: I've read all of Michele Borba's books. To me, she stands for the kind of parent I want to be: you can't just sit back and expect everything to go well. You have to get engaged and if there's a problem you have to deal with it. I love my kid -- he's great-- but he's been home lately with a back talking attitude. I couldn't believe his flippant tone and I didn't know how to deal with it. And then I picked up Borba's new book. The great part is that I was able to go to contents, find the attitude, and immediately turn to the section and get point by point steps to do to turn it around. It's been only three days, but I'm already seeing a big change in my child. I've read alot of other parent books. Most are so filled with theory and vague generalities. The great thing about Michele Borba's books is that they are very specific and action oriented and give you real live activities you can do. Try it and you'll see.
