Answer to my prayers!
I was referred to this book by a friend when I was about to throw the towel in on homeschooling. I was frustrated and cried daily. My son was testing me every minute of every day and my children were fighting all the time. This book had me in tears...not sad tears but years of relief! It only took 2 days to get through this wonderful book. In these past 2 days I can see a difference in my household already!!!! Thank God for this book and Mr Dobson!

a real disappointment from Dobson.
another preachy sermon that gets real off topic, raising strong willed children, and just wants you to pray. no thanks. I'm in the real world and need real solutions. let me save you the time and money, you are already doing what Dobson may suggest, and he offers no New or Helpful techniques. he mainly wants you to spank, be firm, be loving and then pray and spank some more. That's about it.

Born again christian based
Was disappointed by the born again view point of this book. Especially since it wasn't mentioned in the description or reviews. The introduction tells how the author beat his recalcitrant dachshund with a belt??? Later on a mother tells how she had to discipline her 5 year old daughter by putting her in the garage! Then prays over her every day asking the holy spirit for guidance. Really???

Awesome!!
I’ve heard great things about this book throughout the years, but saw not so great reviews online. I have a strong willed toddler daughter and was thoroughly encouraged and strengthened. I’ve been using his suggestions for about two weeks and my daughter has listened more and I have lost my temper less, an overall win! Will definitely recommend for parents or anyone needing to care for a strong willed child, or someone trying to understand the daily difficulties.
