The book gives a personal perspective of what it will take to perform the duties of managing children with difficult behaviors. It is a mini-manual of information that will help those who would consider becoming a foster parent or substitute teacher. Being informed and knowing what to expect in various situations can help one make an informed decision. These opportunities are very challenging and will easily drive away a person who is without knowledge. It is very difficult to retain people in these positions. There is a need to have the type of love that will hang in there through difficult times in which there will be. The stories are not all doom and gloom, but funny and rewarding.
