This is a great book for any type of parent. I am a foster parent and going on autopilot is not an option. So when I saw the tag line autopilot is for planes I knew this was a book for me. All the chapters are great in this book. But two them stand out for me at this moment in my journey of parenthood. The patient parent and the merciful parent chapters are perfect right now in my parenthood adventure. But I know in my heart and head the other chapters we be used in the future so this book will always be close by when I need advice and help. Great book, written very well by all the authors. Do not miss out on some great wisdom that the book brings.

Review of Tough Guys and Drama Queens
Tough Guys and Drama
Queens How Not to Get Blindsided by Your Child's Teen Years
by
Mark Gregston starts out with reasons why today children do not respond
to correctness the way previous generation respond to it. The saying “it is my way or the highway” just
does not work with todays’ children. We are in a sad state with children of
this generation not respecting and not taking the correction and to do the
right thing. Unfortunately this book
states that information comes at the children fast and hard in today world, so
they have problems just processing it all and knowing what is right and wrong.
The good news is that the book has several ways to help
parents navigate these new waters of parenting.
The biggest one that stood out for me was building a relationship with
the children. This takes time and some patience of the parents’ part but in the
end can have great results. This book will help me with my children now and the
coming years.
