Parenting Difficult Children: Strategies for Parents of Preschoolers to Preteens
Parenting young children is a challenge, and dealing with difficult or problem behavior can set up an atmosphere of tension and strife—not just between the child and the parents, but between parents as well. Parenting Difficult Children provides a method of removing that tension with specific strategies for parents of children age three to twelve who are exhibiting difficult or common negative behaviors.
Here, a seasoned psychologist uses the expertise he’s attained through decades of clinical practice to provide parents with a practical and realistic approach to dealing with young children in order to extinguish negative behaviors and forge a stronger and more loving bond between parent and child. Using stories from his practice, coupled with the received knowledge of his field, he explores those actions and behaviors that result in more disciplined children, and happier families.
Part one includes specific instruction on building a secure foundation of rules, discipline methods, communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and reinforcers for positive, desired behavior. Part two focuses on problem behaviors and what to do about them. Millions of parents of young children around the world crave detailed, specific, behavioral interventions that can be easily understood and applied to ensure great parenting success. They will find a good start in these pages.

September 20, 2021Although I'm not a fan of slapping labels like "difficult" on anybody, I did find some good strategies in here.

This book was helpful in giving us guidance for how to structure some behavioral routines in our home, but I do think it was based primarily in behaviorism in a Pavlovian dog sort of way. There was no real guidance for how to engage kids in the process or how to communicate with kids (especially younger kids) about improving their behavior.
