I wrote a blog post the other day about my oldest son being my big challenge. He is so much like me that we butt heads like crazy!!! I vent about him ALL the time it seems, but he’s really got my heart wrapped around his fingers long before I met him.

I want to maintain my relationship with him because it’s taken a long time for us to gain the bond that we have, and I definitely don’t want anything to break it. This book has given me ways in which to achieve what I want from him, and still maintain “authority” with him. I tried some of the techniques mentioned in the book today, and low and behold instead of doing school work for 9 hours and STILL having work left to be done for the day…he actually had all of his work done for the day within 6 hours (and he got two hours of physical activity today.) So, for us, that was MAJOR progress.
I read this book in less than three days time and have soaked up every word. So, if you also have a strong willed child
Do you have a strong-willed child?
“I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.”
