Your Strong-Willed Child: A Positive Discipline Guide to Calm Your Strong-Willed Child Without Extinguishing Their Inner Fire

Does your child throw interminable temper-tantrums that just won't subside whatever trick of the book you may try?

You may have tried calming them down by reasoning with them, giving them affection, or simply ignoring them, hoping that the outburst would end on its own.

Are you tired of their stubborn persistence and their constant defiance of your authority?

They just love those power struggles and indulge in finding loopholes and exceptions in every single situation where they don't feel satisfied or when they don't get exactly what they want.

Does he or she constantly ignore warnings they don't want to hear, making use of their exceptionally developed selective hearing skills?

Your desperate attempts at vocalising a "watch out", "be careful", "don't jump on the couch" are simply ignored if they're not interested in what you have to say and will tune out of anything they think doesn't suit their desires.
