Description
How the Science of Strategic Thinking Can Help You Deal with the Toughest Negotiators You Know-Your Kids. As every parent knows, kids are surprisingly clever negotiators. But how can we avoid those all - too-familiar wails of That's not fair! and You can't make me! In The Game Theorist's Guide to Parenting, the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn and the game theorist Kevin Zollman pair up to highlight tactics from the worlds of economics and business that can help parents break the endless cycle of quarrels and ineffective solutions.
