Summary: Not My Little Granddarlings!
Review: As Audrey Ricker says, admitting they aren't perfect is the first step to curing rudeness in your grandchildren. As I began the book, I thought, she doesn't know my perfect little darlings. If they're a little sassy, it's just a phase. They'll get over it. She makes a good case, though. A cute, assertive two-year-old can quickly become a rude four-year-old, and woe to the grandparents trying to deal with the back talking teen he/she eventually becomes. In her four step program, the author tells grandparents how to (1) recognize backtalk, (2) decide on a consequence for it, (3) enact a consequence, and (4) disengage from the grandchild's protest. The book is concise and convincing. In fact, I am so convinced by it that I bought five copies of Dr. Ricker's first book, Back Talk, as a Christmas gift for the parents of all my grandchildren.

Summary: Terrific!!!
Review: I read this book in one sitting. I enjoyed it immensely as a follow-up to their first book on backtalk. I shared it with friends who were grandparents, and they loved it! The steps were practical and realistic. A person with determination can make this happen. It takes a strong individual to make a stand and follow through, but it can be done.

Summary: Finally--a book for seniors!
Review: It's about time someone wrote a book addressing the issues that today's grandparents face! It's nice to see that an acclaimed parenting author like Dr. Ricker was willing to take on this topic. The book is full of helpful tips for getting your grandchildren to behave better, without making them hate you. I also recommend it for aunts and uncles.

Summary: You mean Grandma's NOT a stupid dork?
Review: Ricker understands the problem. Kids today, even our own personal darling incredible grandkids, are often rude. They backtalk. Ricker knows how to change that, and tells us in four steps. The four steps are simple. We just need the courage to carry them out. Follow the steps she outlines, and backtalk changes to good manners. As they say, sound like a plan? If there is a hitch, it's in facing the fact that backtalk IS backtalk -- not making excuses for it. A loving grandparent herself, the author knows our impulse to duck the unpleasant truth. Stop ducking, she gently urges. Use her four-step method and take the rudeness out of your relationships with grandchildren. They ought to hand out this book with your license to become a grandparent.
