"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!"
Karen Christie, Mom & Grandma
"Finally, a book about parenting that doesn't scare the crap out of you!!!! We live in one of the safest times to be alive, and yet, most of us are terrified. Parents - especially so. It is refreshing to have a book that realistically looks at the real dangers our kids face and help us - (a) not freak out, (b) figure out how to help our kids deal with the risks without traumatizing them, and (c) does so while making us laugh! A trifecta. I honestly wish CJ Scarlet's book existed when my son was younger. I would have handed it out to every freaked-out parent I met at every mommy and me playdate I went to. Parenting is hard enough; we don't need to generate extra unnecessary hysteria. This book will help you realistically face the dangers of parenting (real or imagined) with love and humor. Thank you, CJ!"
Jennifer Hancock, author of The Bully Vaccine
"Badass Parenting is fun from the start! I love the conversational tone and I honestly laughed out loud at some of the stories. I learned SO much and I constantly thought about so many people who should read this book (all parents, schools/teachers, camp counselors, etc.)."
Orna Drawas, author of BEFORE YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD - Thinking on Your Feet When It Matters
"Reading CJ's book is like having a conversation with a trusted, close friend. Her writing is funny, engaging, and easy to read, though her subject is anything but. For many of us who experienced bullying as children or have children ourselves being bullied, CJ provides straightforward advice on how to identify the signs of bullying and what to do. She also explains how to talk with our young children and teach them the same life skills in age appropriate ways. She treats both her topic and her readers with empathy, understanding and respect without ever sugar coating her message or allowing us to shirk our responsibility as parents."
Sam Zordich, Mom and Business Leader
"I am so impressed with this book. CJ is a brilliant writer who has found the right balance between deep research, practical tools and a positive tone for such an important topic. In a world where safety, danger and fear are more the daily focus, Badass Parenting very quickly gives kids and parents the tools and facts to navigate these issues effectively, while still enjoying life! Every parent must read this book not only for the wealth of information that's in here, but also for the inspiration on how to bring up happy, healthy and empowered kids!"
