Reviews

"This witty and comprehensive guide focuses on the impact a strong-willed child can have on the family dynamic and how to redirect that purposive behavior to achieve peace in the home. Dr. Leman isn't afraid to challenge excuses parents use for their children's misconduct . . . when pinpoints the root of the willful misbehavior and guides parents on their way to correcting it. . . . Recommend this book to parents at any stage of childrearing as Leman addresses all age groups."
