Lewis' book covers the rise of misbehaving children and how parents can better regulate them. Her book makes the case that when adults crack down bad behavior; they undermine the development of the very traits that children need to become self-disciplined and productive members of society. Time-outs for acting out or rewards for good behavior may seem to work in the short run, but Lewis shows how these tactics actually hold children back. Lewis covers three pertinent strategies to be implemented in raising children: connection, communication, and capability.

The first part explains why we face a crisis of self-regulation, laying out the scientific discoveries that back up this assertion. The second part describes three key steps shared by all successful models Lewis has studied and connects those to how adults teach children to regulate themselves. The conclusion gives sage advice for adopting the techniques Lewis covers and how to ultimately end old and debilitating habits. By the end of her book, Lewis hopes to teach parents how to respond to misbehaving children, not with alarm, but with eagerness. Instead of seeing misbehavior as a problem, parents should see it as an expected and totally normal part of how modern kids develop. Implementing the tools Lewis covers will help parents raise self-sufficient kids ready to face adulthood with an elevated chance of living a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.
