I am a professional dealing with delinquent behaviors and children in trouble with the legal system. I believe in treatment instead of just a "correctional" approach. After reading this book I have had several of our residential settings read it and go by some of the ideas of dealing with youth...

The ONE parenting book to buy if you can only read one.

I am a parent of a difficult child and an easy child and also I am a psychiatrist and I frequently treat children. In spite of that latter fact, parenting has not come naturally or easily and my own instincts were not helpful in the limit setting department. My own parents were very...

very helpful book

Clear, simple explanations. Unfortunately missing the section on "Teens" that was in the first book. I recommend reading both. We have only implemented the techniques for the past two weeks , but the results have been nothing short of amazing already. The methods in the book foster respect,...

Very basic -- appropriate for the most challenged families

I find it quite remarkable that the book is able to teach parenting techniques fairly objectively and without spending much time theorizing about why parents act the way they do. Although a lesson learned in one home won't necessarily carry into other environments, there is great hope for...

Very Helpful

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...

Amazing Book - A Must Have

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...

Thank you!!! I finally understand.

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...
