The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child

De: Alan Kazdin

Narrado por: L. J. Ganser

A lifesaving handbook for parents of children who are occasionally, or too often, out of control. Most child-behavior books are filled with advice that sounds reasonable, fits with what parents already believe about child-rearing, and is, as Dr. Kazdin proves, guaranteed to fail.

The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child makes available to parents for the first time Dr. Kazdins proven programone backed up by some of the most long-term and respected research devoted to any therapy for children. Kazdin shatters decades worth of accumulated myths about tantrums, time-outs, punishments fitting the crime, and much more.

With the practicality of Ferber and the warmth of Brazelton, Kazdin leads parents through every step of the Kazdin Method in action - how to use tone of voice, when and how to touch, how to lead your child in a practice session, how to adjust your approach for different-age children, how to involve siblings, and more.The program is temporary, but the results are permanent - for very young children, adolescents, and even beyond.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Kazdin's] easygoing and often humorous tone gently guides readers through an array of problem scenarios...The author promises long-lasting results for a temporary investment in his practical, positive method; parents may be well rewarded if they give it a try." ( Publishers Weekly)

Finally, Common Sense Parenting

I think every psychologist should study this method and use it in their practice. This type of therapy will actually work!

Behavioral based approach

While this approach does not discuss working on underlying feelings or needs that may be at roots of behaviors, it does give a practical and evidenced based approach to changing behavior. Seemed helpful for a range of ages.

VERY USEFUL TOOLS!

He does a great job giving us many detailed & practical tools for different scenarios. It’s nice to know we are not alone & there’s hope for both parents and child!

Best Book Read Ever

This is book is pure magic! Following instructions in this book very closely, I have trained my 8-year-old twins to prepare for bed in 20 minutes and get in bed by 9:10 by themselves without prompt, read or do homework for 1 hour every night with 1 prompt, get up within 1 minute of the alarm clock by themselves, get dressed and finish breakfast (mostly veggies) in 50 minutes by themselves, jump rope 300 times daily with 1 prompt, and maintain a clean desk. I have reduced their tantrums by 80%. And the best is that I do longer need to yell or be angry or nag. I only need to smile a sweet smile, say the right words and give them lots of praise, hugs and kisses! So my relationship with my kids have never been better. I can honestly say that no book has so totally transformed my life as this one.

That manual you wished your child was born with!
