Real-world advice on the embarrassing moments parents with young kids face every day. When you're raising kids, you're thrown into dilemmas you could never have dreamed up. A diaper disaster in the middle seat during take-off. Naked baby bath photos your mother-in-law posts online without permission. An unexpected gift that leads to a tantrum in front of the gift-giver. How can you turn your reactions into opportunities to be an A+ parent and friend, role model, and member of your community?
They've done the research so you don't have to. Authors Sarah Davis, Ed.
D., and Evie Granville, M.Ed., are educators and moms to six young kids between their two families, manners mavens, and creators of a blog and podcast dedicated to parenting etiquette questions.

Sarah and Evie help readers discover their public parenting style within a unique framework, analyze their gut reactions to sticky situations, and choose a course of action that balances their needs, their child's, and others'.
