Elaine Rose Glickman is the mother of three (non-bratty) children. She is also a parenting advice columnist for Sarasota Mommy Magazine, a parenting expert featured on the syndicated television talk show Daytime, a former teacher, and the chair of a nationally accredited, top-rated Florida preschool.
Elaine Glickman is not afraid to call a brat a brat. Our wonderful kids we love so much CAN be selfish, interrupting, non-sharing, meal-ruining, bank-breaking, party-demanding brats. That doesn't mean things can't change, especially with a little help from someone calm and smart and, thank God, FUNNY. Glickman understands that even the best intentions can sometimes backfire when it comes to parenting, and helps us understand how to nip brattiness in the bud.
