BRATPROOFING provides parents with guidance on how to instill positive character traits and money management skills in their children. The book presents five rules for parents to remember and seven character traits (such as hard work, joy, and optimism) to impart in order to bratproof children, and prevent them from becoming spoiled, arrogant, and unmotivated. The Solomons also address a concern many parents that their financial success might damage their children.
