To my son Kevin Anderson Leman II You have always been a great son Were so - photo 2

To my son,

Kevin Anderson Leman II

You have always been a great son.

Were so proud of what youve accomplished in life already. Winning two Emmys isnt too shabby.

I have to admit that its taken a little while

to get used to people coming up to me and asking

me if its true that Im Kevin Lemans father,

but its a role Im going to continue

to enjoy as the years go by.

What really means the most to Mom and me,

though, is the young man youve become.

We appreciate your kind, considerate, thoughtful nature.

We couldnt love you more,

and I pray that God will continue to

richly bless your life.

Love,

Your semi-famous father

Theyre Unionized... and Growing Stronger

Ive got news for you. Kids are unionized, and theyve got a game plan to drive you bonkers. Some hedonistic little suckers of the ankle-biter battalion have even graduated to emeritus status and are holding down the hormone group division. But you dont have to let them call the shots. Ive got a game plan guaranteed to work. Every time.

Where Did They All Come From?

These could have been General Custers last words, but they dont have to be yours. Why do your kids do what they doand continue to do it? And (secret news flash) how does your response to their war whoops relate to what your kids do?

Disarming the Dude (or Dudette) with the Tude

Want a kid without the attitude? With behavior that doesnt make you slink away from him in the grocery store? A kid with real character who isnt a character? Heres why Attitude, Behavior, and Character are the most important ABCs of alland how you can teach them in a way your child will never forget.

Show Me a Mean Teacher, and Ill Show You a Good One (Its All in the Perspective)

Look down the road 5, 10, 15, 20 years. Who do you want your child to be? What kind of parent do you want to be? With determination and 3 simple strategies for success, you can get to that pointwhether you have a 2-year-old, a 10-year-old, a 14-year-old, or a living-with-you-again young adult.

But What If I Damage Their Psyche? (Uh... Whats a Psyche?)

Lets debunk a major myth right now. Kids need Acceptance, Belonging, and Competencethe pillars of self-esteem. But theres a big difference between praise and encouragement, and your kid is smart enough to know it.
