Author R.W. Klamm is a man who is filled with humor, wisdom and insight. His ultimate goal with “Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit” is to let parents know that we can make mistakes with raising our children, but not all is lost. We learn from our mistakes.  He reminds us that parenting is not always about the desires of the parent(s) (materialistic) but of raising children who are independent, good problem-solvers and emotionally stable.
 
Klamm starts his book by stating the obvious-- if you want to raise healthy, well-rounded children you need to relook at your parenting style and relationship with your children.  He gives the reader basic principles on raising children. These are not anything new to parents, but are things we sometimes forget.

Through humorous stories, poetry and real-life examples, Klamm discusses peer pressure, sex, problem-solving and many other subjects that we as parents will encounter when we become parents. All of the stories in “Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit” are interesting to read and have humor, but the undertone is one of providing guidance and problem-solving skills. At the end of each story there are words of wisdom.

“Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit” was awarded Editor's Choice by the publisher.
