"Wise yet practical and full of humor, "Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin
Dads "is a must-read for parents who want to deal with the other

than wrath and confusion. Rosalind Wiseman's thoughtful suggestions
will spare parents endless conflicts and substitute creative
interventions. This book forces us to look ourselves in the mirror
and face both our strengths and weaknesses while inspiring us to
act as strong yet empathic role models for our children in a
much-too-pressured and competitive world." --William Pollack,

Boyhood
