Summary

Every child has "ornery" moments, but more than 1 in 20 American child ren exhibit behavioral problems that are out of control. For readers s truggling with an unyielding or combative child, Your Defiant Child: E ight Steps to Better Behavior offers the understanding and guidance th ey need. Drawing on Dr. Russell A. Barkley's many years of work with p arents and children, the book clearly explains what causes defiance, w hen it becomes a problem, and how it can be resolved. The book's compr ehensive eight-step program stresses consistency and cooperation, prom oting changes through a system of praise, rewards, and mild punishment . Readers learn tools and strategies for establishing clear patterns o f discipline, communicating with children on a level they can understa nd, and reducing family stress overall. Filled with helpful charts, qu estionnaires, and checklists,Your Defiant Child helps parents get thei r child's behavior back on track and restore harmony in the home.
