Fox News anchor E.D. Hill is a busy woman. She is the mother of eight children and just written a terrific new book, I’m Not Your Friend, I’m Your Parent: Helping Your Children Set the Boundaries They Need…and Really Want. In this book E.D challenges parents to reclaim their roles and set boundaries for your kids. This is not a book for the liberal permissive parent - unless you are ready to change and set some strong strict rules for your family.

E.D. states that “If your greatest desire is to be your children’s best friend, if you want a stress-free relationship with your children, if you find it impossible or uncomfortable  to admit that your children will be disobedient, sneaky or deceptive sometimes, don’t read this book.”

This is a must read for all parents. It is an excellent book and one that is needed in our society. E.D talks about manners, allowance, dress codes, dealing with young children tantrums and teen dating. This is a book for every parent who wants to raise courteous, responsible and productive adults. You can go to her website www.hillfriends.com to learn more and order the book. Once you do you will find that you will be making good parenting choices ~
