How to Raise Great Kids in a Generation of Assholes by Liz Parkinson

Let's face it. The world today has a problem: many of our wonderful, adorable, brilliant children are growing up to be assholes. Between struggling with political correctness and dealing with Snapchat, even well-intentioned parents are inadvertently raising insufferable monsters. But there is hope for a new generation that is at least mostly tolerable-and Liz Parkinson is here to show even the most desperate parents how to make sure their kid doesn't become a jerk. In How to Raise Great Kids in a Generation of Assholes, Liz draws on hard-earned lessons and cringe-worthy mistakes from being a mother of three to walk parents and parents-to-be through one of the most important jobs in the world. With hilarious stories, invaluable advice, and some help from her husband, she addresses how to turn bad behavior into teachable moments, how to avoid the supermom and helicopter parent traps, how to keep it real when dealing with tough topics, and more. Even in this rapidly changing world, it's possible to both maintain your sanity and raise respectable children-or at least get them to be an asshole only 5% of the time-with a lot of patience, effort, and love.
Parkinson, Liz: - Liz Parkinson is a self-taught artist from Australia who lives on the edge of a rainforest near the sea. It's a very, very nice place with a lovely mild climate. She does striking black ink drawings, with an emotive edge, and finds her images in her subconscious. Even in a nice place you can't escape your demons, and they have a habit of regularly cropping up in her work. She hasn't always been an artist, but initially graduated with a degree in Economics and subsequently taught for a while. However she later abandoned that (wisely!) and travelled everywhere. She has had careers in silversmithing and art, and her work has appeared in assorted outsider art exhibitions in Australia and elsewhere.
