Backtalk for Grandparents and Their Grandchildren

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.

Summary: Back Talk grandparents
Review: The book is easy to use and very consise. It reads like an outline instead of a book. It gets to the point and is obviously
right on the mark for dealing with children, wheather they are your grand children or your own children. It is easy to open the book anywhere and get some good points.

Summary: Hits the mark!
Review: This book is a must for grandparents whose grandchildren live in either the same city or across the country. We all know our grandchildren are "perfect" but there are the times when they believe that we are pushovers - and we know that we are! Dr. Ricker has excellent strategies for diffusing what could become hairy situations!

Summary: Back Talk grandparents
Review: This book was definitely a quick read and very useful. Examples in the book pertain to all who deal with or parent children in some way -- not just for grandparents. The Four Steps to handling backtalk from children are very useful. Even for someone who may not have children of his or her own can still learn from the book. I have seen many of these behaviors in college students and can only think, "If their parents had only used the Four Steps in controlling their children's disrespectful behavior, my job could focus more on educating students rather than handling disciplinary problems." I highly recommend this book to anyone, grandparent or not. Many of the issues raised in this volume are similar to Dr. Ricker's first Backtalk book, which helped reinforce the point that no matter what age you are, backtalk is unacceptable.
