Once upon a time girls stopped wearing dresses to school and put on jeans and tie-dyed T-shirts. It was the Age of Aquarius, when old rules of behavior no longer seemed to apply. But now that the flower children have children of their own, they're starting to wonder what the new rules ought to be.
Manners expert Carol McD. Wallace, who has two sons of her own, comes to the rescue with a clear, contemporary guide to what today's parents should teach their children, when to teach it, and how to do so with turning their homes into boot camp. Here, in the kind of knowing detail only a parent could offer, are step-by-step guides to: --Basic Training: The dawn of civilized behavior, or how to teach 3- to 5-year-olds to behave at meals, say "please" and "thank you", share, and apologize. --The Age of Reason: Refining the manners of 6- to 9- year-olds at home and abroad. --The Young Sophisticate: How to bring the manners of 10- to 12- year olds to high polish and, --Manners for Parents: Everything from when it's okay to bring your child into work to privacy--your own and your children's.

America's Ultimate Comfort Dog presents her life story to the disheartened and disillusioned in these tumultuous times; (especially millennials and Hollywood celebrities). Join Daisy as she transcends her humble beginnings in a puppy farm to ride the Reality Show circuit and bask in the Hollywood spotlight (with a little politicking thrown in as well), encountering seemingly insurmountable obstacles along the way.\nRead about her appearances with Simon Howl and Steven Terrier on American Howler, and the luminaries on Project DogRun, Top Mutt Chef and Retriever. Cry alongwithher as she is dognapped by the pugnacious filmmaker-political activist Michael, "Puggy" Pugnose; and as she endures the mean-spirited fake news stories by tabloid reporters.\nApplaud her brave decision to seek counseling from the Great Dane, Dr. Phil McGrowl to recover from her devastation. Be on the inside when through her Fox Terrier Network program, The Rant and Pant Show, she hosts events such as the classic barkfest between the bellicose Alaskan Husky, Sarah Growlin' and a dour little barker, Elizabeth, a Canaranian Warren Hound.\nTake on the lessons she imparts as a senior dog, who has seen herself go from cream puff to puma. Daisy hopes her story will encourage her readers to emerge from their safe, comfy spaces, dry their tears, and face the trials and tribulations of real life with vigor, acceptance and respect. Her goal is to encourage current thinking from indivisible to interchangeable.\nDaisy hopes her readers will have fun matching up the thinly-disguised characters in her book with real-life actors, musicians, and politicians. "Levity is the best medicine for a broken heart," Daisy yaps. "We all need to bark-laugh at ourselves now and then."
