Daniel's review of Your Defiant Child: Eight Steps to Better Behavior
Your Defiant Child: Eight Steps to Better Behavior by Russell A. Barkley
Our three year old was doing a lot of screaming and hitting and we had tried a host of different ways of dealing with this problem. This book gave us the perspective on our own behavior that we needed to figure out how to change his behavior.
We learned the key points of the "program," which requires that you implement certain changes in a given order, and then did not explicitly and deliberately stick with it as a program the way one sticks with a diet to achieve better eating habits. instead, we internalized what we learned and began to see some of the levers we were pulling with our son and were able to interact differently with him on order to change his behavior.
The book could be better, but anything taht works so well so fast gets five stars from me.
