Are you a parent? Are you planning to be one? Do you know someone who is a parent? No?
Ouf! How do I make you read this book? Wait - you have parents. Perfect!
If you said yes to one or more questions, this book might be worth a read.
I am a parent. With over 140,000 hours of parenting experience, maybe I am qualified to say a thing or two about parenting. I started writing this book as a ready reckoner for my teenage daughter. That poor kid listens to some of these in a loop most days. Apparently, verbal torture is not enough. I must inflict torture in print as well.
As I began to talk to friends, I realized most of what I've written here is common across gender and geography. And that's how this book was born.
To all parents out there you are not alone. To all kids out there see, we are not the only parents 'lecturing' you. It is universal.
