<p><em>“My daughter just won’t cooperate.”</em><br />
<em>“The tantrums have gotten out of control.”</em><br />
<em>“He promises to do his chores, but then he doesn’t.”</em><br />
<em>“She’s having trouble making friends at her new high school.”<br />
“I’m trying everything I can think of… but I’m at my wit’s end!”</em></p><p><strong>Sound familiar?</strong></p><p>If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve made at least one of those statements during the past year — or possibly something similar.</p><p>Dr. Suzanne Gelb, Ph.D., J.D., a psychologist and life coach who has worked with parents and families for 30+ years combined, and also an attorney who has worked in the area of family law, understands parents’ frustrations.</p><p>Year after year, she has heard stories about tough spots, melt-downs, tantrums, and just about every hair-pulling situation imaginable.</p><p>Two decades — and more than a few transformational success stories — into her career, Dr. Gelb has consolidated her knowledge into a guidebook for parents:</p><p><em>IT STARTS WITH YOU.</em></p><p>This book doesn’t outline a “revolutionary” or “ground-breaking” parenting philosophy. Rather, just the opposite. It’s a refreshingly simple guidebook on how to raise great kids by setting a great example that your children would naturally want to follow.</p><p>As Dr. Gelb explains, 'Parents set the tone for their household. If your child is acting out, first, it’s wise to look towards yourself.'</p><p><em>IT STARTS WITH YOU</em> urges parents to get back to basics — starting with your words, your actions, your role modeling; the messages that you knowingly (and unknowingly) expose your child to, every day.</p><p><strong>In this book, you’ll find:</strong></p><p>—Relatable stories about parents and children</p><p>—Tips on how to set age-appropriate rules and consequences for children of all ages, including teenagers</p><p>—Worksheets to organize and track family chores and responsibilities</p><p>—Guidelines that can help you resolve dozens of tricky, sometimes uncomfortable scenarios (from public tantrums to curfew-breaking to texting at the dinner table to navigating major life events, like illness or divorce)</p><p>—Inspiration to strengthen your mind, body, and life —forgiving your own parents, releasing the past, becoming a stronger, more positive role model for your children: a family leader who’s worthy of admiration and respect.</p><p>Readers have called this book “game-changing” and “incredibly effective,” and the message rippling through the pages of <em>IT STARTS WITH YOU</em> is one of hope and empowerment:</p><p><em>It is never too late to become the person, parent, and role model that you want to be — and that your child needs and deserves.</em></p><p>Your child is looking to you and counting on you.</p><p><strong>It all starts with you.</strong></p>
