Maybe one of those kids belongs to you.Combining incisive commentary with grounded, practical advice,Your Kid's a Brat and It's All Your Faultwill have you recognizing and laughing at yourself, your fellow parents, and a culture that seems determined to turn our precious angels into not-so-precious brats.

You're holding her book in your trembling hands now!'Lenore Skenazy, founder of the book, blog, and movement 'Free-Range Kids'
