Product Description:
2005 Gold Medallion Award finalist!
Dr. James Dobson has completely rewritten, updated, and expanded his classic best seller The Strong-Willed Child for a new generation of parents and teachers. The New Strong-Willed Child follows on the heels of Dr. Dobson's phenomenal best seller Bringing Up Boys. It offers practical how-to advice on raising difficult-to-handle children and incorporates the latest research with Dr. Dobson's legendary wit and wisdom. The New Strong-Willed Child is being rushed to press for parents needing help dealing with sibling rivalry, adhd, low self-esteem, and other important issues. This book is a must-read for parents and teachers struggling to raise and teach children who are convinced they should be able to live by their own rules!

Rating:  - There are much more respectful and effective resources out there
I am a child psychologist with expertise in how to effectively discipline children so that they can learn to be respectful, cooperative, and caring individuals. About ten years ago, I posted a review of this book, recommending that parents use other, more effective parenting approaches. I was contacted by Dr. Dobson's wife via email and she informed me that I was not a Christian because I had posted a critical review. This told me that I'd done the right thing, trying to steer parents toward a different, ... Read More
Rating:  - This book is a must have!!!
I am a huge fan of Dr. Dobson, and it was pretty clear from the day I brought my son home from the hospital that I was going to have to read this book! I love how he had different sections for the different stages of a child's life. I also enjoyed the stories that he integrated into the different sections as examples. I found them humorous and could relate to them. I also like that he advises parents to be firm disciplinarians while at the same time loving their child. Contrary to what others may say, ...

Rating: - Deeply divided & very emotional topic
This book touches on the very personal, emotional and controversial topic of child spanking. Naturally there are many supporters and opponents. The people who dislike spanking tend to ignore the sound and Biblically correct discipline theories, and jump to condemn Dobson's entire book. I personally grew up in a family who my parents spanked, all the way to my teenage years. It was no doubt painful and humiliating experience, and at one point I vowed not to spank my own children. It's not until I became a Christian ... Read More
Rating: - How much better off this world would be if parents would read this book!
I appreciate Dr. Dobson's insight into children. This book has absolutely helped me not to be a "screamer" anymore and to be a more confident parent to my two-year-old. He is not as strong willed as some of the examples in the book, but my husband and I can definitely already see a positive difference in his behavior. Even if your children aren't all that strong willed, I'm sure they enjoy testing the boundaries. Please, please read this book.
Rating:  - 3 year old with a strong will
I have a 3 year old that I have had trouble dealing with from the time she was born. She held her breath out of anger when the nurse gave her a bath and put that tiny shirt on her just one hour after birth. She cried for the first 4 months from a combination of colic and wanting to be able to do whatever she wanted to do, like walk. I thought after she learned to roll, then, sit, then crawl, then walk, etc that she would be less cranky; well that didn't happen. She continues to be fussy, demanding, and insists ... Read More
