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!

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.

Hope for Parents

Very well done, and laid out. Lots of great advice. I would recommend taking notes if you haven't had the chance to purchase the book. Even if your child is not strong willed, this is helpful with children with ADHD, or if you are struggling with siblings.

Infomercial or assistance? You decide.

If you really need assistance and specific direction then this book is for you. Detailed instructions for a variety of challenging behaviors are given. I felt I was reading an infomercial about this book and others by these authors. Many times I wanted to scream "get to the point already!!"
Very common sense. I'm glad I didn't spend any more time on this book!
