Chicago Mom and Ghostwriter Pens Children's e-Book About Parents Arguing

Story-time before a child's bedtime usually involves a great adventure in a land far, far away, which usually results in children mostly drifting into a serene sleep due to their "trip." New children's e-Book, Aaaughhh!!!! My Parents Fighting Is Making Me Angry! My Parents Fighting Is Driving Me CRAZY! provides adventure of another sort: encouraging dialogue between parents and their children on the effects of arguing in front of their children and how it makes their children feel.

Chicago mom Annesa L Lacey of @.l.interpretations, a B2B PR & digital publishing consultancy, ghostwrites for small businesses. She is also a published Amazon Kindle author, usually focusing on spreading brand awareness for fellow small brands or writing about customer relationship management. What does a children's book have to do with B2B e-Book publishing? Although supporting small business initiatives is the main focus of @.l.interpretations, Lacey still felt compelled to add to the versatility of her publishing arsenal.

"This book is to help parents remember that no child's first lesson in warfare should begin at home. That's it. Nothing else. This book is told from a child's vantage-point because it should be the most valued point-of-view there is. In fact, the adults' faces aren't even illustrated in this book. Like Charlie Brown cartoons, adults are acknowledged, but it's all about the children," Lacey said.

Aaaughhh!!! is also told from personal experience. Lacey's own parents split when she was only seven years old, and she divorced her ex-husband when her own daughter was only five. Lacey's daughter, now 17, who Lacey calls a "great-natured kid who looks out for her fellow man and is always laughing," has certainly come a long way.

"By grace, my daughter has long overcome the combative atmosphere she was momentarily accustomed to living in, along with the respiratory issues she was born with. My wake-up call came one day when my daughter was just four years old. She decided to assert "authority" over her parents - demanding that my ex-husband and I be quiet. Our divorce loomed over our daughter's entire nursery and kindergarten school years, so she definitely had her fill of our bickering in front of her, though never intentional."

Aaaughhh!!!! is simply to warn parents against having intense discussions near their children, something Lacey will always regret, but is redeemed by not only her daughter's forgiveness, but also being a "helicopter" mom over her daughter's overall well-being.

"That's why this book is written from a child's point-of-view. I want kids everywhere to have a voice and for parents to let their kids know their opinions matter. Their feelings matter. Don't wait until it's too late before your child hears that from you," Lacey said.

"You won't catch my kid on Dr. Phil for any intervention. Since she was small, I had to learn to just look into my kid's eyes (and track her Instagram, Twitter, tumblr and Facebook accounts!) and talk to her," Lacey laughs. "Since then, I've learned to hold my tongue, as well as let her know that her opinion counts," she added.

Parents, let's keep the peace and let our littlest (or tallest) ones know that we value their input. Aaaughhh!!!! is available for direct download on any e-Reader for only $7.99 through @.l.interpretations.
