Family Rules

Kensington Books
By: Jeannette Lofas Ph. D., LCSW

One of the most popular books on The 21st Century Family

Now that more than 60% of American families are divorced, re-partnered or single parent households, the rules for running the house have changed.

Would you like to create a well-run family team where you are clearly the leader? Would you like to come home to a house where everyone says please and thank you, shares the housework, and truly enjoys dinner together? Do you long for a homelife where children feel loved and cared for and you feel respected and in control?

FAMILY RULES not only gives you the tools you need to create a happy well-run family but the parenting skills to develop character, self-discipline, and self-esteem in children. Easy to institute and easy to follow, FAMILY RULES is the best way to bring stability and tranquility to your home.
