Synopsis

Does this sound familiar? Your child ignores your directions, talks back to you, picks fights with his brother or sister. When angered he slams doors, breaks things and won't take no for an answer. You've tried everything, but it's not working and you feel worn out from your daily battles with your child. Nothing seems to frustrate parents more than oppositional, defiant and aggressive behaviour in a child. Often they come to professionals asking, "What can I do to make our child behave?". This work answers that question and is designed for parents as well as professionals to share with the children they work with. Other people working with children should find this work a useful resource.

About this title

Review

This book succinctly communicates crucial information for parents of disruptive children. Despite its brevity, it focuses not just on behaviors, but also on thought patterns; not just on children's compliance, but also on their skills in dealing with the world; not just on reward and punishment, but also on modeling and other methods of influence; and not just on what parents should do, but also on how they can overcome the barriers to doing these things. This book will help both parents and clinicians who wish to prevail over the behavior problems that pervade our society. If all parents could incorporate these suggestions into their behavior, the world would be a vastly better place.--Joseph Strayhorn, M.D., Medical College of Pennsylvania
