Your Defiant Child

"Every child has "ornery" moments, but more than 1 in 20 American children exhibit behavioral problems that are out of control. If you are struggling with an unyielding or combative child, this book offers you the understanding and guidance you need. Drawing on Dr. Russell A. Barkley's many years of work with parents and children, the book clearly explains what causes defiance, when it becomes a problem, and how it can be resolved.

Its comprehensive eight-step program emphasizes consistency and cooperation, promoting changes through a system of praise, rewards, and mild punishment. Filled with practical charts, questionnaires, and checklists, Your Defiant, Child helps you get your child's behavior back on track and reduce family stress overall."--BOOK JACKET.
