We have 2 very strong-willed boys, ages 3 1/2 and 2. They both fit into at least 7 of the 9 characteristics of strong-willed kids explained in the book. My husband and I both were at the end of our ropes with them. Nothing worked, everyone was always yelling and hitting and it was frustrating to be around them. Then I found this book and decided to give it a try. We started using the techniques and saw results immediately. It has been a little over a week now and we are all getting along much better. The boys know that we will follow through with taking away toys or putting them in a time-out and amazingly, they don't fight with us anymore when we tell them to do things. They are even getting along better with each other and my 2 year old is being nice to the baby! My only regret is that I didn't find this book a couple years ago.

This book gave me some extremely useful and practical guidance in dealing with my extremely strong willed 9 yr old daughter. Over the years I have tried several different ways of dealing with her, however none were effective long term. This book helped me see the family dance that we were involved in and more importantly gave me useful ways to step out of that dance, and regain control. She is still the same strong willed person, yet I have better ways to deal with her. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with a child who is less than easy going.

This book has been really helpful. My wife and I were in a pretty regular tug-of-war with our three-year-old. We were getting to our own limits. The examples and techniques of this book made it pretty clear why we were in the jam we were in. Our son ruled the house...until we both read this book. The games came to a halt the next day. Our son was a little shocked at first and went to great lengths to try and test the limits of our authority. It was difficult at first, to say the least. But, after about two weeks of persistence on our part, we turned him around and put some very clear boundaries in place - PROBLEMS SOLVED!
I'll say this: We paid about $15 after shipping for this. It took about three days to read. For the amount of peace and comfort we got in return, this is a fantastic investment for any family.

Up until reading this book I struggled with my son on a daily (if not hourly) basis. This book helped me understand my son's personality and gave me tools to react to him. It wasn't his personality that was the problem, but how I was reacting to it. We still have our moments, but they're not as often and I can handle them more effectively. We are no longer battling for hours and making life miserable for ourselves and everyone around us! I am a stay-at-home mom and because of our relationship, I considered going back to work. I once thought that he would be better off with someone else because at least he wouldn't be arguing all day. Now I am able to feel confident that it's best for him to be at home with me and learn from me and he can now do that in a positive manner.
