Book excerpt: Offering concrete and practical suggestions for dealing with children who refuse to become financially responsible, this book helps parents regain control of their own lives and look after their own needs and wants while repairing the parent-child dynamic that may have degenerated into a pattern of constant handouts. Focused on values, lessons, and habits that parents must instill in their children to have them grow into responsible adults, topics covered include how to deal with specific demands such as the Internet or a car and alternative ways to establish clear parameters and take action. The many scenarios and strategies covered in this parenting resource are effective whether the offspring are still children or are grown adults with children of their own.
