Editorial Review: Product Description: Now You Can Effectively Parent Your Strong-Willed Child Does your child constantly misbehave and ignore or refuse your requests for proper behavior?

You will learn how to: ·Understand and empathize without giving in ·Hold your ground without threatening ·Remove daily power struggles between you and your child ·Give clear, firm messages that your child understands and respects ·And much more! 'Eminently useful and readable! This book should be a part of every parent's and school's reference library.' —Judy E. Hunt-Brown, principal, Elk Grove Unified School District 'A grand book that teaches everybody in the family new skills and encourages more peaceful, socially acceptable lives at home, school, in the office, or in any social group.' —Barbara O'Donnell, principal, St. Francis Elementary School 'A highly recommended eye-opener; beautifully documented.' —Stewart E. Teal, M.D., clinical professor of child psychiatry, University of California, Davis Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very basic -- appropriate for the most challenged familiesI found this book lacking because it doesn't address the fact that most children (at least some of the time) are ready to move onto learning how to identify choices on their own... i.e. how to instill values (oops... that might invoke shame) that will help them throughout the rest of their lives when you're not peering over their shoulders.

Rating:  - Very HelpfulI recently purchased this book because I was at my wits end with my 'strong-willed' child. I felt completely out of control and ill-equipped to handle the challenges my child poses. I found this book to be very helpful in the area of explaining the behavior and how to effectively respond to the behavior. There has been a marked difference in our household in the short time since I purchased and read this book. I highly recommend it to any parent, especially those with children who are challenging. Rating: - Amazing Book - A Must HaveThis book is a must have for any parent who struggles with disciplining their child. Our 3.5 year old son is very strong willed and traditional methods of time out (in a corner) were not working. This book was well written and filled with helpful examples. Within a week we noticied a difference - and best of all - I feel confident about what I am doing. If you are even considering the book - buy it. Rating: - Amazing bookvery clear, powerful book. limit & discipline seem so simple - but with a strong willed kid, you can go crazy. give very clear steps. pediatrician friend recommended this. she says she recommends it to her families at least once a day. |
