By Rebecca Hagelin

As a parent, you know the challenges against you can seem overwhelming. While you're trying to raise thoughtful, considerate, innocent children, popular culture seems to want to turn your children against you. Schools sometimes appear not to be places of learning but instead bazaars where your children are sold bad language and surly attitudes - or worse, drugs and sexually transmitted diseases.

Your own day is stressful and hectic - and you worry that you're neglecting your children. And you sometimes think there's nowhere to turn for help.

Now there is. This book is the guidebook every parent needs, laying out 30 practical actions - concrete, doable steps you can implement one day at a time - to restore peace in your home and reconnect with your children.

In 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family, Rebecca Hagelin - a mother of three, as well as a syndicated columnist, author, and specialist on family, culture, and media issues - provides a guide for parents who want more than mere encouragement; who want a practical plan: with realistic goals, specific actions to take, and a clear path to achievement.

In this book, you'll learn:

• What to say to your teen as you pass Victoria's Secret in the mall
  
• How to make a clothing contract with your daughter
  
• How (and why) to write a letter to your child
  
• How to slow down your life - and your child's - so that you can enjoy your time together
  
• How to fight the culture, and not your child
  
• And much more
