The New Strong-Willed Child

By Dr. James Dobson

This is one of the greatest books on raising children of all time!

Here’s the secret…All children are strong willed!

Even if they act meek, shy, introverted and quiet on the inside they are just as determined and strong willed as any of the others.

Here’s another secret, it's true of everyone. In business, sports, and all walks of life, every individual is strong willed. They may disguise it, but their iron will is the same as everyone else inside.

Situations you encounter with children parallel situations you encounter with adults. This book provides solid advice that applies in both areas.

2005 Gold Medallion Award finalist! 

Dr. James Dobson has completely rewritten, updated, and expanded his classic best seller The Strong-Willed Child for a new generation of parents and teachers. The New Strong-Willed Child follows on the heels of Dr. Dobson's phenomenal best seller Bringing Up Boys. It offers practical how-to advice on raising difficult-to-handle children and incorporates the latest research with Dr. Dobson's legendary wit and wisdom. The New Strong-Willed Child is being rushed to press for parents needing help dealing with sibling rivalry, adhd, low self-esteem, and other important issues. This book is a must-read for parents and teachers struggling to raise and teach children who are convinced they should be able to live by their own rules!

I have the older edition of this book; I absolutely love it. I re-read it every few years because there are so many ideas in it that I will forget the ones I do not immediately need--thus the need for review as my children grow and change. 

Spanking is advocated, but there are so much more to this book that a parent who does not believe in spanking—and is a reasonable person who understands that other good parents do use spanking—could read this book and take much out of it.  >>read more>>
