Deborah Gilboa Get the Behavior You Want... Without Being the Parent You Hate! Thank you Jeanine, for expressing interest. This is a resource book for parents of kids aged 2-12 with multiple possible solutions for 60 common parenting challenges.
Deborah Gilboa This entire book sets out to solve the challenge I face as a parent: How can I get my kids to demonstrate great behavior, without being a (screaming or nagging or guilting or...) parent I hate?
Deborah Gilboa I need to answer a question or solve a problem. Each of my chapters does just that, and in just a few pages. That's about my attention span, and I'm guessing a lot of parents will appreciate the "FAQ" style so that they can go back to their kids knowing that they are effective!
Deborah Gilboa The next learning curve for a new author: How to let people know that I've written a book they might want to read!
Deborah Gilboa Don't worry about how you'll get it published, who would read it, whether it would be "good enough." In the most encouraging words of my husband, who tipped the scales for me to write, "Well, if you don't write it, it will definitely never get published."
Deborah Gilboa The ongoing conversation with more and more people! I love social media as much (or more) than the next person, but the most exciting aspect of placing a book I've written into someone's hands is the opportunity for continued dialogue. Readers are wonderful about writing in with feedback, thoughts, unaddressed challenges.. I learn so much!
