Every parent experiences that feeling of irritation, shame, embarrassment, or frustration: why cant my kid behave? And now, with digital distractions everywhere and disapproving grandparents looking on, it seems like todays kids are having a harder time than ever maintaining self-control. Are we crazy, or is kids behavior really worse now than ever before?

Its not all in your head, Katherine Reynolds Lewis tells us. When she faced parenting challenges with her young children, she used her reporting skills to investigate the phenomenon of bad behavior, crossing the country to talk to parents, teachers, and kids and learning what works and what doesnt from the top parenting, classroom-management, rehabilitation, and brain-science experts. Her 2015 piece for Mother Jones about discipline at school, What If Everything You Knew about Disciplining Kids Was Wrong? struck a nerve with parents; it went viral via social media and quickly became the most-read story the magazine had ever published.
Now, in The Good News About Bad Behavior, Lewis presents a comprehensive portrait of the modern state of bad behaviorand highlights game-changing strategies. Lewis, herself a certified parent educator, walks parents through four empowering approaches, all of which share three key components, to help parents navigate tricky behavioral situations and work with their children toward better solutions. Her outline of an Apprenticeship Model of parenting gives kids responsibility within ever-increasing limits.
So often, parents ask, How do we get the kids to do what we want? Lewis, though, has found that the right question is: Why cant the kids do what we want?
