Publisher's summary

Don’t let those cherubic faces fool you.

Your smart kids have an agenda - and they’re workin’ ya.

Powerful kids don’t just happen. They’re created, and their power comes in different packages. Whether loud and temperamental, quiet and sensitive, or stubborn and manipulative, powerful children can make living with them a challenge. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In Parenting Your Powerful Child, New York Times best-selling author Dr. Kevin Leman offers a practical action plan to redirect your child’s power surges into positive traits that will prepare your child for a successful, happy, and productive adult life. With these simple but effective techniques, you can transform your home from a daily battle zone to a safe and peaceful place. All it takes is a little determination - and some small changes on your part - to make a huge difference in your family life.

Ready for the power struggle to end?

Applicable to both my kids!

I purchased this book with my oldest child in mind, but it is so useful for both of my kids. I already recommended the book to my sisters and my husband, and will be listening again. I am trying to practice the ideas because I can see they are getting their power from mom and dad. I already had one moment where my daughter’s reaction was just as the book described. Can’t wait to keep changing my parenting behaviors!

Powerful ideas.

Started implementing ideas from this book with my 13-year-old. It was amazing how they worked! We are on a new journey and our family couldn’t be happier!

Great book!

Prefer Dr. Leman's voice as it was familiar, funny and comforting, but thank you both!

Being a Parent with Direction

Great for parents with good intentions, good heart, and need systems to deal with any child, not just loud ones.

Great, practical tips for your powerful child

Loved the narrator. Good choice for this book with good inflection and personality.

As always, Dr Leman's books are really easy reading with very practical help.

Now I just have to practise on my two powerful children!

I recommend this book if you're getting into power struggles with a kid or two!

I learned a lot!

I plan on listening to this periodically throughout my child's journey to adulthood. Very good resource for guiding him along that journey.
