Publisher's Note Every child has "ornery" moments, but more than one in 20 American children exhibit behavioral problems that are out of control. Your Defiant Child: Eight Steps to Better Behavior offers understanding and guidance to parents struggling with an unyielding or combative child. Drawing on Dr. Russell A. Barkley's more than 20 years of work with parents and children, the book clearly explains what causes defiance, when it becomes a problem, and how it can be resolved. The book's comprehensive eight-step program stresses consistency and cooperation, promoting changes through a system of praise, rewards, and mild punishment. Parents learn tools and strategies for establishing clear patterns of discipline, communicating with children on a level they can understand, and reducing family stress overall. Filled with helpful sidebars, charts, and checklists, Your Defiant Child helps readers get their children's behavior back on track and restore harmony in the home.
