    About this ebook

    I Just Dont Get My Parents Rules! transports parents and children into the world of parents rules. This book is written for parents who understand the importance of setting rules at home and who are looking for an imaginative, enjoyable way to explain this topic to their child. Readers take a journey with a boy as he explores his feelings about his parents rules. Along the way, he imagines life without those horrible rules. Although he is momentarily caught up in the euphoria and amusement of the possibilities, he soon realizes that a house without rules might not be as fantastic as he imagined. The boy acknowledges his anger at the rules and shares fun, practical, and effective strategies for managing his feelings. I Just Dont Get My Parents Rules! is a valuable resource for parents and their children as well as for nannies, grandparents, teachers, and any other caregiver who wants to encourage the emotional growth of a child.
