The book is designed for parents of children ages 2-10, and teaches parents skills to help stay calm when their child does act up—especially in public. Carla Naumburg, PhD is a clinical social worker, writer, and mother. She is also the author of "Parenting in the Present Moment: How to Stay Focused on What Really Matters". Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, and Psychology Today, among many others.
