From the Back Cover
“I love this kid more than anything in the world, but I don’t really like her very much.”

“My son and I can’t get along for more than ten minutes without clashing over relatively insignificant matters.”

“Why does this child make me so angry, when what I want most is harmony and love?”

Customer Reviews

The New Strong Willed child Workbook
Very good and helpful. I learn a lot more if I write them out, but the workbook made me think about what I read then take it a step more and helped me apply it to my life. Very good buy!

The New Strong-Willed Child Workbook
This book is right on the money and this workbook is perfect if you want to go through the book in a group setting.

Workbook
The actual The New Strong-Willed Child book is excellent and of great help in walking the razor-edge life of parenthood. The workbook is really too extensive and too time consuming. I got this book to help me be a better parent, not to "show my teacher" that I applied the principals. The book is absolutely great but this workbook is an unnecessary money-maker for the author.
