Publisher's Synopsis
"Badass Parenting is like a triple dark chocolate cheesecake with a layer of mousse in the middle (hint: the mousse is CJ Scarlet's humor and style which helps lighten up the cheesecake!). You will love this book!" ♥
If you've ever lost sleep worrying about your child's safety, you're not alone. You may want to wrap your munchkin in a protective bubble and defend her from every harm but doing so could emotionally cripple her and make her more, not less, vulnerable to bullies and other predators.
In Badass Parenting, danger expert CJ Scarlet teaches you how to empower your youngster (0 to 9) to avoid sketchy people and handle herself in scary situations ranging from bullying and digital dangers to sexual abuse and kidnapping. You'll also learn how to enhance her confidence and self-esteem, which are her greatest tools for repelling predators.
After reading this book, you'll feel more knowledgeable and confident in your ability to talk candidly with your child at her age and maturity level without scaring her to death. It's time to ditch the worry and get some sleep!
This super informative, unputdownable book (with TONS of downloadable bonus content!) is the new bible for parents looking to raise safe, savvy, confident kids.
WARNING!!! This book contains extreme snark and a good bit of swearing. If you're clutching your pearls just reading this, then Badass Parenting is not for you. However, if you want to be entertained while you learn how to protect your child, this book is a must-read!
