Evaluate your responses to the quiz on Page 6.

→Quiz score 0 to 4 points: Sorry, you’re not Obama caliber. You seem to use the same old parenting tactics that create problems rather than solve them. But you can change! Change takes time. There will be setbacks, but you can’t lose hope, because your children are counting on you to get them to bed on time, feed them organic carrots and teach them to set their alarm clocks. Your children can’t afford any more time without decent parents.

→Quiz score 5 to 7 points: You’re undecided. You’re torn between two parties: "good” parents and "bad” ones. You want to put your kids to bed by 8 p.m. but you struggle to commit. You know that you should buy organic but you fail to follow through. It’s time you commit to being a good parent. We’ve had too many years of status quo parents. Bad parents are bad for our country. Consider what they produce: obnoxious pampered party girls. It’s about whether you want to continue to raise irresponsible children or whether you want to reach for a higher parenting standard.

→Quiz score 8 to 13 points: Congratulations! You’re an Obama parent! Your children likely will grow up to attend Yale or become professional singers and dancers, just as Sasha and Malia hope to. Buy an "I’m an Obama Parent” bumper sticker online for $25 at ObamaChangeParent.com. Proceeds from sales will go toward rallying parents. Imagine what a better world it would be if all kids went to bed before 8 p.m.
