The New Strong-willed Child: Birth Through Adolescence

2005 Gold Medallion Award finalist!
Dr. James Dobson has completely rewritten, updated, and expanded his classic best seller The Strong-Willed Child for a new generation of parents and teachers. The New Strong-Willed Child follows on the heels of Dr. Dobson's phenomenal best seller Bringing Up Boys. It offers practical how-to advice on raising difficult-to-handle children and incorporates the latest research with Dr. Dobson's legendary wit and wisdom. The New Strong-Willed Child is being rushed to press for parents needing help dealing with sibling rivalry, adhd, low self-esteem, and other important issues. This book is a must-read for parents and teachers struggling to raise and teach children who are convinced they should be able to live by their own rules!  more

Never received the book

I ordered this book exactly one month ago yesterday and have never received it. I've emailed the store twice with no response. Guess I just threw my money out the window.

He means well, but this is no book to raise kids by

I took in my sister's son when he was ten. He had ten years of non-parenting and was a holy terror. Before he arrived I singed up for parenting classes at our church. I read this after it was recommended by the instructor (he basically taught this book). The class and the book wasn't sitting...

Oversimplification

'Spare the Rod and spoil the child' so the passage goes...But this book makes the assumption that all children react the same way to physical punishment. As a Christian and father of several children I have learned the most effective punishments for all of them when they step out of line,...

Please don't miss the point of this book

People seem to either rate this book with five stars or with one star. The crux for most people is the corporal punishment issue (to spank or not to spank). Yet if you have read this book, you realize that Dobson's main point is not that a child who purposefully and willfully disobeys her...

Kristian Facist

..just like his teaching on every thing. AVOID. I know one girl - who's parents followed this book - in spite of the fact that the girl was NOT strong willed - she ended up lesbian - probably partly just to spite them.

Dangerous and Ignorant Advice

I found James Dobson to be both ignorant and dangerous. He clearly has not kept up with the research done since receiving his Psychology degree in the early 1960's. He advocates violence and corporal punishment, and has an overall negative assumption toward the motivations and intentions of...

There Are Children, Difficult, Children & Strong-Willed Children

With the basic parenting techniques that I discuss with parents, there's a certain child that these practices will not work with; the strong willed child. These children behave in such a way that normal family/parent behavior adjustments will not work. They must be met head on and parents must...

AVOID THIS BOOK!

As a Christian (ordination track) and parent of three, I cannot recommend this book. Our second son was VERY difficult and this book was not only unhelpful to us, but the pinching the shoulder trick bordered on abuse! We found better, more positive ways to reach our son, who is now relatively...

There are much more respectful and effective resources out there

I am a child psychologist with expertise in how to effectively discipline children so that they can learn to be respectful, cooperative, and caring individuals. About ten years ago, I posted a review of this book, recommending that parents use other, more effective parenting approaches. I was...
