    "I bought this for my 5 y/o daughter to help with her "bossy" attitude, mostly while at school. It really helps describe the difference between being bossy and being assertive. I like very much that it encourages to go for the things that you want but, teaches the power of flexibility and makes sure to include other's feelings as well instead of swapping bossiness for being a pushover. Great for encouraging your strong girls! - Sarah, Verified Purchaser


    "I was scheduled to substitute teach the day after receiving this book in the mail. In a conversation with the teacher the night before, she asked if I had any new books to read to the children. I suggested this one and she thought it was perfect - especially for one of her students. We read the book and followed it up with a couple of exercises that the children loved. It really helped the children in the class understand that being flexible in their thinking is important and leads to better relationships." - Eva Goulette


    This book really hit home for my bossy and sweet 4-year-old. We are now working on being more flexible and we have a signal if she starts to be bossy that helps her remember to take a step back and listen to other's wants/needs. - Christopher F., Verified Purchaser
