Kids are unionized and their game plan is to drive you nuts

Let’s face it, children can be a hard nut to crack. They’re part of the entitlement group who expect anything and everything good to come their way with no work on their part - just because they exist. The world owes them and owes them big time but the problem isn’t about you performing your parental duties as much as it is not knowing them. As a parent who wants to make their child happy, it can be very hard to figure out a way to do so.

However, your job as a parent is not to create a happy child. On the contrary, if your child is actually happy when he or she chooses to put a happy face back on, life will be better for all of you.
Nothing in life is a free ride. The sooner your children learn that, the better.
It’s up to you as a parent to train sound children with an entitlement mentality. If you’ve read this far, it’s clear you want your child to emerge as a healthy contributing member of the family and society, at large. Just keep going and by the end of this read, you would be equipped with the mental tools needed to be the kind of parent you should be — not a pushover. Follow the strategies in this book and your relationship with your child will change dramatically in no time.
second key point

Children are often tough nuts to crack but there is always a reason they act as they do

Many times, as a parent, you ask yourself, ”Why do my kids do what they do? Why do they continue to do it? Why are kids these days so disrespectful?” There isn’t much to it. Kids do what they do because they’ve gotten away with it. It all comes down to who is in charge of your family — you or your child.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
