Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child: Eliminating Conflict by Establishing Clear, Firm, and Respectful Boundaries

The content was good and I think overall it gives you tools to be a better parent. In my case, I'm a father, I don't have that big of a problem with any of my kids but the themes discussed here are very applicable.

I've already had a chance to apply these things in real life, and they work! I feel so happy to handle a situation very different of the ways I'd have used in the past, and obtained the desired results: kids do better, I feel much better, and we all communicate better at the end.

I've read reviews where they criticize the narrator and for me it has never been an issue... but for this particular book I felt some tension and I felt that the voice didn't help. I can say that I was tired while reading the book, I think the narrator has a good voice, but it's just that the book was slower and it felt monotonous, repetitive ... I've been on the other side, also tired and hearing a super cheerful voice but didn't like it either. I'd have preferred a different voice, less deep.

I almost stopped hearing the audiobook, but I'm glad I finished it. It does have good applicable content. In my case it was a hard listen, but in the end I'd totally recommend if you have a strong-willed child.

I am already half way through listening to this book a second time! It is packed full of information and I am only beginning to put Roberts advice into action! I am so thankful for this book!

Alan is a great narrator and helped bring the book to life!

I often find myself becoming angry with my children and losing my temper! I have found that by keeping cool and just setting boundaries as Author Robert MacKenzie advises, my children are able to make good choices or live with the consequences of their bad choice! No reason for me to become angry! (I am still working on this!)

An outstanding book for all parents, not just parents of strong willed children, since all children need to have boundaries! I have recommended this book to many of my friends and will continue to tell people about this book and its great advise! Thank you Robert MacKenzie! God Bless you!

Yes. I have already listened to it twice. I know that this book will be at the top of my listening list. Each time I listen, I pick up new points that I missed before.

This book produced immediate results both in me and my strong willed child. It was amazing the change.

Yes, it has great examples, explanations and ways on dealing with your stronged willed, even if you have a compliant child the book wil help you how to communicate with your child in a better ways.

After listening "Never be sick again" also excellently performed by Alan Sklar, I searched for other audiobooks performed by him.
This was the one I chose, and I was very lucky!!
Not only the performance was excellent, the content largely surpassed my expectations.
The book is plenty of examples, which makes it entertaining, funny, in parts emotive and very profound.
Thank you both Robert MacKenzie and Alan Sklar for this great job!

All of the different examples of how the strong willed child acts and the different roll plays of how you should respond to each strong willed child's act. This helped extremely!!!

"The Dance". This hit home for me. My 5 yr. old is constantly trying to talk his way out of things. I assumed he would turn out to be a great attorney :) This book is the only reason I have learned to put a stop to "The Dance" which was so exhausting!

Every day that I woke up and every night that went to bed I stressed over how I could get my child to listen. I did not understand what I was doing wrong. I thought I was faulted for my parenting skills. This book lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. It gave me a greater understanding off my strong willed child's thought processes which in turn helped me understand the author's approach. And his approach for my son's strong-willedness was spot on! At the end of the day the author taught me how to be consistent and to the point. You can hear those words and think I don't need a book, I can do that. But, the book provides so many examples of approaches on almost every situation which gives you an amazing head start!

Of course, this is very practical and realistic. Very well crafted. I haven't finished listening but I have learned so much. It's so easy to understand and follow and the narrator is very good, I don't know why the other reviewer characterized it as a difficult listen. He read it the way it should have been read, even the dialogues were so appropriate and intonation just perfect!

I bought that Scream-Free Parenting, returned it because it beat around the bush too much. Not practical at all, I have been a child care provider for more than 40 years and I should know.

This is my first time.

Consistency, firmness and respect are essential in dealing with difficult children.
