In this fully revised and expanded second edition, Setting
Limits author Robert MacKenzie is back with even more time-proven
methods for dealing with misbehavior and creating positive,
respectful, and rewarding relationships with children prone to
acting out and disobedience.
Disruptive misbehavior, constant power struggles, manipulative
or aggressive behavior--the challenges facing parents and teachers
of strong-willed children can seem overwhelming at times. That''s
why thousands of parents and educators have turned to the solutions
in Setting Limits With Your Strong-Willed Child. This revised and
expanded second edition offers the most up-to-date alternatives to
punishment and permissiveness--moving beyond traditional methods
that wear you down and get you nowhere, and zeroing in on what
really works so parents can use their energy in more efficient and
productive ways. With fully updated guidelines on parenting tools
like "logical consequences," and examples drawn directly from the
modern world that children deal with each day, this is an
invaluable resource for anyone wondering how to effectively
motivate strong-willed children and instill proper conduct.
