About this ebook
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.

I LOOOOVE this book! It reframes "difficult" children as "aggressive researchers" and teaches parents to set limits and consequences and let the child choose. I can tell my son "you can choose to do your homework now or you can choose to lose your phone for 48 hours" (the consequence). It's so clear and puts the decision on him. And Mackenzie talks about temperament in interaction between parent and child. Both my son and I are intense people. Thanks to this book, my almost-12-year-old son and I have a very close relationship in which he takes my boundaries seriously and I listen open-mindedly to his point of view.

if u have a child (<10-13), this is your magic book to educate him/her. My subjective conclusion: it is the bible of father/mother.

You need to let your child do whatever they want (accept dumb things)and you shouldn't need a parenting book.Let your child do whatever and still show that you care and your life will be perfect.
