The Day Jake Vacuumed by Simon James
This book illustrates why the PARENT is in charge and not the kiddo. When kiddos are in charge, they find themselves in places they do not know how to handle.
Direct instruction from parent to child can result in struggles, but a story may be an indirect way to address a concern and begin conversation.
