Condrell describes step-by-step techniques to help get through the toughest child-rearing challenges and explains just how to become a truly good parent with kids who will listen and behave. "Wimpy Parents" will detail:

-- Ways to stop bedtime problems
-- Why teenagers need to reject parents, and how to let them do it (without being a wimp)
-- And seven ways to raise a moral child.
