Once I started reading Betsy Brown Braun’s You’re Not the Boss of Me, I just kept wanting to see what she had to say next. Betsy Brown Braun dares to give very specific answers for all the very specific issues that come up in raising a child in today’s world. She gives answers, and she gives reasons for her answers. Best of all, her no nonsense wisdom shines through every page. I cannot think of a book that I have read about raising children that teaches as much about so much. Perhaps what I liked best, and I think will be most appreciated by parents is her fearlessness in giving very specific in the real world of raising kids today advice. Clearly she deeply understands children and her words reflect tremendous compassion. I found You’re Not the Boss of Me to be a wonderful and amazingly helpful book.

I won’t even hesistate when I tell you Betsy Brown Braun has written one of the best parenting books I’ve ever read. You’re Not the Boss of Me: Brat-Proofing Your 4- to 12- Year Old offers sage, but simple, advice for raising respectful, honest, and independent children.
The book provided many lightbulb moments for me because it clearly identifies a wide range of parenting concerns and offers answers for the age-old question: “Why is my child acting like that?” It also offers memorable tips and scripts about how to react in every day situations such as what to say when “I’m bored,” plays like a broken record or how to instill confidence in a disappointed child.
Betsy writes frankly and honestly. Her voice throughout the book is upbeat and positive even when she touches on the tough topics like what to do when you hear the dreaded, “I hate you,” what to say when your child has cheated on a test, and how to deal with stealing.
