Critic reviews

"This hands-on self help guide provides you with a step-by-step five-week program toward improving your child's behavior as well as the entire family's relationship." ( The Guide to Self Help Books)

Best book I have read! Very specific suggestions!

I found this book most helpful. I believe it is a book that both parents and educators could benefit from. I am a former teacher of 36 years and have read many books Now I have a strong will grandson. I plan on following the plan. I have already recommended it to his parents and preschool teacher!

Yes! This book is a must!!

I love how thorough they are! I recommend this book to all parents, either 100% happy home, or a very strong-willed child. This book is something that you will greatly benefit from. Literally, everyone will benefit from it. We saw results in one month, by doing exactly what the book says, and what a game/life changer! Buy this, listen to this, if you care about the health and wellness of your family and home!

Great book!

Very informational about what to do or say and what not to do or say when raising a strong willed child.

A comprehensive guide for parenting you child!

A must listen for parents even with average children not only strong-willed children.
The Author presents every situation you can face in your parenting journey and how to deal with it in a precise way.
However the introduction is so long and I was going to quit the book but later in part 2 I liked the 5 rules to follow in order to help children to behave well, while I don’t see it needs 5 weeks and It should take not more than 2 days for each rule and it needs time to master them.
I liked part 3 and 4.. it included everything I needed to know.. it’s like collecting everything in one place... I consider it like manual for parenting:)
Tons of information.. I believer it’s like a reference.

AMAZING READ (GREAT TOOLS INSIDE)

We have two toddler boys with strong wills . felt like getting a grip on the issue was gonna be almost imposible. we listened very carefully and utilized every piece of info from this book. it changed our perspectives as parents and the actions and attitudes of our strong willed baby boys. A MUST READ
