Parenting guru Borba offers a practical, hands-on approach to fix that annoying but widespread youthful characteristic: attitude. We've all experienced children who are self-centered, selfish, rude, insensitive, fresh, demanding, tactless, and irresponsible. But attitudes are based on character and manners, a child's fundamental self-concept, their sense of who they really are, and how they relate to other people among their friends, family, and peers. Borba provides specific steps, activities, and a complete program for an attitude makeover, for parents of kids from five to fifteen.--From publisher description.
