Summary: #1 parenting book.
Comment: This is one amazing book. I've recommended it to just about every parent I know, especially ones having problems with their child. Most parents want to be good parents. Not all parents know how.

I was at my wit's end with my then 5 year old. When I was done with the book, I found myself with a sweet little boy. What a difference parenting style can make.

Parenting the Strong-Willed Child doesn't just tell us what we know (positive reinforcement, consistency, etc.), it teaches how to do it right. It is a five week program, and if you're dedicated, it will work. I decided I was going to do it exactly as prescribed and I saw results from the very first week. In fact, each week, I noted improvement and that was what motivated me to finish the program.

This program is well worth the effort and cost. I am forever grateful to the authors who helped me completely change my relationship with my child.

Summary: Fantastic book!
Comment: I highly recommend this book to any parent who has a strong willed child. It is very easy to read. It helps the parent understand how to act and discipline a strong willed child. I never really thought much about positive and negative reinforcement, but every parent needs to know about it...strong willed child or not. In my family this book has proven to be priceless.

Summary: This WORKS
Comment: I bought this book a few weeks back and my husband and I are working through the steps with our 2.5 year old son. Our son has been strong willed since, well, before birth. Even he let his opinion be known and we've struggled through many challenges with him from the very beginning.

We'd been able to cope with most everything he threw at us until the last 6 months. As I sit here, I am 35 weeks pregnant, and with the pregnancy fatigue my son has had more freedom than he ever has. We've tried everything with him, but it was definatly to the point of, "Oh, he's not doing anything wrong! Let me just sit here and enjoy it a second... being very quiet so as not to disturb him." I couldn't bring myself to play with him or engage him much just because I used all my energy on discipline.

We are currently stalled on week 2 in this book (we had a bug go around the house and desided to wait until we're all back to "normal" before continuing). The changes, already, have been amazing. Just in the first two days my son stopped screeching at me. Apparently, he'd gotten so used to only hearing me reprimand him that every time I opened my mouth he felt the need to drown me out with this awful noise (I would liken it to nails on a chalk board). Now, because I can talk to him the noise level in our house has dropped, he's hearing me and responding to what I say (answering questions and even Following Directions!), his speech has improved because he's putting effort into communicating properly with us, plus, we can bring him out in public. I'm not saying he's a perfect little angel anywhere we bring him, but I've heard the sermons at church for the first time in 2 years. I can take him to do my grocery shopping while my husband is working so that we can do something fun as a family when my husband is home. We even brought him to the mall last night and he left the play areas without fighting us (yes, we had to physically go get him, but that's alot better than dragging him out kicking and screaming.) Oh, and we got dinner at the mall (granted it was a food court) but he sat next to me in the booth through the whole meal, eating his food and talking to us. Did I mention that his average major melt down has gone from 40 minutes of kicking and screaming (and generally making me want to cry/pull my hair out) to 10? Yes, they're still 10 very intense minutes, but hey. 10 is so much better than 40.

I'm so pleased with this book, I could go on gushing for a good long while yet. I am so excited to continue on with the progress our family is making.

Summary: Excellent resource for overwhelmed parents of intense kids!
Comment: I am part way through the book and have seen positive results already with my extremely strong-willed 3.5 year old boy. I was at wits end so it is wonderful to find some help! I would highly recommend this book if you are struggling to raise a strong-willed child.
