Jeff’s inaugural book, THE 10 KIDMANDMENTS, offers parents and non-parents ten fundamental principles that are guaranteed to immeasurably enhance one’s life. For 14 years, Jeff took copious notes as he reflected on the best practices of being a parent. The lessons and observations of those fourteen years are compiled in his book. Nodding to many of his parents’ parenting skills, while developing his own deliberate ways of inspiring and positively affecting his children, Oddo takes the reader on a journey of discovery while providing practical ways to implement such advice.
Though written from a parenting angle, the principles and intentions of this book convey equally to those of us who are parents as well as to those of us who are not. A company CEO can apply the same principles and reflections within Oddo’s work to better empower his or her employees.

Foreword – by Tom Hill, co-author of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SOUL
“As an author, life-coach and newsletter writer, I’m exposed to literally hundreds of books every year, and Jeff’s book is a must read—straight forward and very practical. Not only does it teach you to be a better parent, but in reality this is one of the best self-help books I have ever read.
This is a high level, big picture type of book that should, without a doubt, get you thinking about one of the most, if not THE most important job in the world, parenting. This is not a “HOW TO” crash course on everything you need to know about raising children, but it is a very practical “WHY TO” overview of the ten most important things parents need to accomplish—everything from goal setting to understanding the importance of having faith.
The Ten Kidmandments isn’t just for parents; it is for anyone who wants to be happier in life. The Ten Kidmandments gives everyone—kids and adults of all ages—ten principles they need to focus on in order to achieve “happiness.”
These principles establish the skills needed to help us all be more successful and productive adults. Every person, adult and child, need these foundational concepts to be put into practice. It’s been my experience as a life-coach for 16 years that those folks who don’t practice these principles will never come close to reaching their full potential in life.
Unfortunately, for most people parenting is a passive, casual process that leads to unnecessary stress and negative emotions that can last a life time. Most parents raise their children by using their intuition and overlaying it on how they were raised. Unfortunately in today’s times, that strategy just isn’t enough. Parenting must be proactive and The 10 Kidmandments is an inspirational, motivational book that is a must read for every individual who wants more out of life.”
