Book Overview

How to help--and cope with--the difficult child

Expanded and completely revised, the classic and definitive work on parenting hard-to-raise children with new sections on ADHD and the latest medications for childhood disorders.

Temperamentally difficult children can confuse and upset even experienced parents and teachers. They often act defiant, stubborn, loud, aggressive, or hyperactive. They can also be clingy, shy, whiny, picky, and impossible at bedtime, mealtimes, and in public places. This landmark book has been completely revised to include the latest information on ADHD, medications, and a reassuring approach to all aspects of childhood behavioral disorders.

In this parenting classic, Dr. Stanley Turecki, one of the nation's most respected experts on children and discipline--and himself the father of a once difficult child--offers compassionate and practical advice to parents of hard-to-raise children. Based on his experience with thousands of families in the highly successful Difficult Children Program he developed for Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, his step-by-step approach shows you how to:

Identify your child's temperament using a ten-point test to pinpoint specific difficulties
Manage common--often uncontrollable--conflict situations expertly and gently
Make discipline more effective and get better results with less Read More chevron_right

   How to really help your difficult child
The author knows how difficult a child is. He was a child Psychiatrist and his next child was a difficult child. He said he didn't attend church because of the embarrassment of his daughter's behavior. He breaks down the differences between sensitivities and behaviors. He helps to identify what can be changed and how to zero in on those behaviors so you can focus on them. He teaches how to find behavior issues that are not really behavior issues. I bought the book for my child and gave it to young mothers at the end of their ropes.

   Appalling!
The book was written by a child doctor. It's appalling to try to crush a child that doesn't see the world in the way you want them to. These strong willed children are a gift and not something to be destroyed. The parents are lazy and selfish.

   Outdated
This book is outdated. In the book, the conflict arises when the father thinks the mother should be harder on the child because they act like boys instead of girls. The advice is not very helpful in dealing with my child.

   Not really any new information
You should structure your kid's schedule, watch their diet, and have patience. If you have a difficult chid, not much is new.

   Practical
I think this is a good reference for parents who are struggling with toddlers, but it doesn't say anything about kids older than 9. He didn't rule out learning disabilities, but it was very common sense and consistency. I didn't think it was helpful for an older kid.

   Very helpful resource and guide to helping a difficult child to success
Tools can be used in this book to help manage and improve a child's behavior. It is helpful to know that you are not the only one who is struggling with a child. I am able to roll with the punches, laugh when I can, and see the improvement that comes from the strategies offered. We are celebrating more than we are suffering. There are still some tough days, but a helpful and positive resource.

   He now has a bit of a difficult daughter and I purchased this (again) to help them guide her in the best way.
My son was referred to daily as an accomplished engineer because he was my " difficult" son. It was surprise! He now has a difficult daughter and I purchased this to help them guide her in the best way... don't let the title put you off... it's a beautiful way to raise a child to their potential.

   For parents of YOUNG difficult children (not me)
My child is now 15. I think I remember reading this book when he was a child, and it's written for parents with small children. War stories make up over half of the book. There are many stories about children who are difficult. I know how difficult children can be. I was looking for concrete strategies to deal with an older child. The book is a good read for teachers in training. Both parents need to buy into this strategy, or it won't work.

   This book was recommended to me by my child's Pediatrician
Since I'm looking for more resources, I had to come back and do the reviews again. My child's doctor recommended the book to me. It was a huge relief. I didn't realize that I was focusing on so many areas that didn't matter as I was raising a strong willed child. I saw my own child in the examples of the information in this book. My life was a struggle all the time. I knew that I was going to have a fight with my child. I had no idea how to end them. Thanks to this book, my relationship with my child has improved greatly. At least we have dealt with the issues we were dealing with. I changed the way I respond to my child's behavior, and that's encouraging. I wasn't a bad parent because I didn't have the right information to help my child.
