An invaluable resource full of Godly wisdom!

This book gave me reassurance that my husband and I are not alone in struggling to raise strong-willed children in loving, Christian homes, and it gave us tangible and practical tools to use immediately. The fact that Dr. Dobson roots everything he says in Biblical truth gives me confidence that his advice is consistent with God’s truth and his desire for families. This is an inspiring and confidence-building book for those who are blessed to be entrusted with strong-willed children!

What an encouragement the second time around!

I will be re playing this yearly until my kids are grown! As we adopt an older child and go through some challenges that are unique I have found tremendous encouragement again from Dr Dobsons foundations!! Thank you Jesus-for this book!

Evangelical Christian-based book

While there is nothing wrong with taking a Christian-based perspective to child raising, I do believe the fact this book relies solely on Christianity should have been included in the description. Those who are Jewish, Muslim or agnostic will likely feel disconnected when reading this book. If you want a book focused on raising a Strong-Willed child rather than stories about parents praying or “laying hands” on their children, I would suggest a myriad of other books available.

Great read!

Loved the anecdotal references throughout the book. I had many "aha" moments regarding my own interactions with my strong willed child.
