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? Is your relationship with your child based on conflict instead of mutual respect and cooperation? With the help of this groundbreaking book, you can create a positive, respectful, and rewarding relationship with your child.
Inside are proven techniques and procedures that provide a refreshing alternative to the ineffective extremes of punishment and permissiveness. Parents and teachers alike will discover how to effectively motivate the strong-willed child and achieve proper conduct. 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!

 Amazing book November 3, 2008
Great book. I learned a lot from it. It was worthy to read.
 Very Helpful October 7, 2008
I 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.
Amazing Book - A Must Have October 1, 2008

This 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.
Amazing book September 29, 2008
very 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.
Thank you!!! I finally understand. September 27, 2008
We were having a difficult time disciplining our four year old daughter. Everyday was a battle and usually involved screaming. Nothing was working. We implemented the steps in this book. Things got worse before they got better, but they got better quickly. Within a few days we noticed a marked difference in the "push back" we were getting from her. Now, we know exactly what to do and remain consistent. I have told all of my friends about this book. It works. But, you have to follow through and keep it going.
