This is such a wonderful book! You must be ready to enforce some pretty strict rules and STICK with them! Its tough...VERY tough for the first few days, but you will be so thankful that you read this book and followed Dr. Dobson's advice. I had felt as if I had completely lost control of my children when I purchased this book. Within the week, I had the control back, along with happier, well behaved children. This book is a must read if you feel as if you have lost control.

Dr. Dobson describes this unique individual this way. Just as surely as some children are naturally compliant, there are others who seem to be looking for a fight upon exit from the womb. Such a child comes into the world smoking a cigar and barking orders in the delivery room...
this little powerhouse needs a special kind of understanding and disipline from his parents. the strong willed child is a practical how to book on discipline and child rearing, which focuses on sibling rivalry,hyperactivity,self esteem, and the most common errors made by frustrated parents.

This hardback with dust-cover book is from birth through adolescence. It covers parenting and solutions for children that are a little harder to handle than others. It is great for parents with an ADHD child.
