Parenting the Strong-Willed Child: The Clinically Proven Five-Week Program for Parents of Two- to ... 33 reviews
Rex Forehand, Nicholas Long
McGraw-Hill, 2002
Finally something that worked!
I'm usually skeptical about books that promise "X number of weeks to a better something-or-other" but I bought this book out of desperation when NOTHING seemed to be helping my 2-year-old's out-of-control behavior. Biting, hitting, kicking, throwing things -- you name it, he did it, and usually gleefully. Our inconsistent methods to address his behavior went nowhere.
After just doing "Week ...

Everything Parent's Guide To The Strong-Willed Child: An Authoritative Guide to Raising a Respectful, ... 1 review
Carl E. Pickhardt
Adams Media, 2005
Willful = self-determined
Although my 3-year-old son is not as willful as the prototype described in the book, he is demanding and "I want" seems to be his favorite word. I liked 2 other books in this series and enjoyed/learned from them (EPG to Raising Boys, EPG to Positive Discipline), so I purchased this one hoping it could give me some ideas about how to work with the demands.
I have to say that the best thing ...

Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child : Eliminating Conflict by Establishing Clear, Firm, and ...95 reviews
Robert J. MacKenzie Ed.D.
Three Rivers Press, 2001
What a Relief!
This book was such a help. As a compliant parent of a very strong willed, hot headed 4 year old I was wearing myself out with all the work it was. I was even a director of a shelter that taught kids and parents behavioral modification and I felt I was really failing. The book normalized my sons' limit testing, showed me how to change my techniques in dealing with him and we have begun to see ...

The Strong-Willed Wife: Using Your Personality to Honor God And Your Husband 2 reviews
Debbie L. Cherry
NavPress Publishing Group, 2007
The BEST marriage book for strong-willed women
It seems I've read every other book out there on how to be a good wife... And most all of them left me frustrated. I don't need to be preached to -- I already know what I should do and I already know what the bible says I should do. What was different about this book was how the author talked to ME -- like she knew me -- and didn't preach at me all the things I've already heard. She comforted and ...

The New Strong-Willed Child 125 reviews
James C. Dobson
Tyndale House Publishers, 2007
Great Book!
Bought this for my daughter and son-in-law. They loved it and have been passing it around to their friends who are looking for good ways to deal with their strong willed children. Even if you don't have a strong willed child, this book will give you some valuable advice, and a couple of chuckles in the process! Recommend anything written by Dr. Dobson.

The Strong-Willed Child85 reviews
James C. Dobson
Tyndale House Publishers, 1992
What's wrong with discipline??
I have a spanking spoon. I don't beat my children with it. Rather they get one solid pat on the behind when they are out of control...which is not common. My children are not afraid of me or my hand. They do not like the spanking spoon and almost always correct their behavior when they get the warning. I was spanked as a child and I love and respect my parents so much that I hate being away ...

Aaron's Way: The Journey of a Strong-Willed Child8 reviews
Kendra Smiley, Aaron Smiley
Moody Publishers, 2004
Sanity Saver
I purchased this book after seeing Kendra and Aaron speak on this subject at a Hearts at Home conference a couple of years ago. Since then I have read it a couple of times, asked my husband to read it and loaned it to several friends as well. It is an eye-opening look at these ornery, exasperating and oh so loveable kids that God has given us to raise. I love having Aaron's comments at the end ...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
When I read this book, I FINALLY understood my son, and MYSELF! It was an "Ah-HA!" moment for me!! The more I talked to parents who were frustrated with their kids, and asked them questions that were asked in the book,I realized there were a lot of frustrated, misunderstood kids out there as well. I was able to bring up some points from the book and was able to give my friends an "Ah-ha" moment ...

Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, ...155 reviews
Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
Harper Paperbacks, 1998
Strongly recommend
This book is one of the best parenting books available. It is one of the few books that actually offers substantive advice about how to deal with certain behaviors. Furthermore, it is the only book that I have read that maintains a positive outlook on "spirited" children. The book does not focus on ways to change the child and does not imply that the child has a disability. It simply teaches ...

Being the parents of a 14 year old girl heading to high school and an 11 year old ADHD/ODD boy about to start middle school, we need all the help we can get.

Cynthia Ulrich Tobias
Zondervan, 2002
Do You Know a Strong Willed Woman?
Cynthia Ulrich Tobias does an excellent job (as always!) in helping readers to understand and appreciate how God has made us. In this book, she focuses on the strong willed woman (SWW) and how God uses us, yielded to Him, to further the work He has for us to do. One of my favorite chapters is "Strong Willed Women in Leadership". The Three A's of leadership were most helpful - Attitude (staying ...

Raising Them Alone:: A Self-Assessment of One Mother's Single-Parenting1 review
Sally Becker
BookSurge Publishing, 2007
a quick and enjoyable read
I enjoyed this book, self-published by a single mom who had been encouraged by her kids' teacher to write about how she successfully raised her 2 kids alone. The author is self-reflective and honest about her own pitfalls and how her parenting philosophy emerged. She shares some of her struggles with parenting and the pain of a very complicated and protracted divorce. However, the focus of this ...
