There are tales of hardworking parents with whom any of us can identify, along with tales of outrageously bad parents--the kind we all have to reckon with. For instance, what do you do when parents donate a large sum of money to a school and their child is promptly transferred into the honors program-while your son with better grades doesn't make the cut? What about the mother who helps her daughter compose poison-pen e-mails to yours? And what do you say to the parent-coach who screams at your child when the team is losing? Wiseman offers practical advice on avoiding the most common parenting \"land mines\" and useful scripts to help you navigate difficult but necessary conversations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueen Bee Moms \u0026amp; Kingpin Dads\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for parents today. It offers us the tools to become wiser, more relaxed parents-and the inspiration to speak out, act according to our values, show humility, and set the kind of example that will make a real difference in our children's lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso available as a Random House AudioBook and as an eBook\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosalind Wiseman is a cofounder of the Empower Program, a nonprofit organization that empowers youth to stop violence, and the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling \u003ci\u003eQueen Bees \u0026amp; Wannabes\u003c\/i\u003e, the basis for the movie \u003ci\u003eMean Girls\u003c\/i\u003e.
