About this listen
A lifesaving handbook for parents of children who are occasionally, or too often, out of control. Most child-behavior books are filled with advice that sounds reasonable, fits with what parents already believe about child-rearing, and is, as Dr. Kazdin proves, guaranteed to fail.
The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child makes available to parents for the first time Dr. Kazdins proven programone backed up by some of the most long-term and respected research devoted to any therapy for children. Kazdin shatters decades worth of accumulated myths about tantrums, time-outs, punishments fitting the crime, and much more.
With the practicality of Ferber and the warmth of Brazelton, Kazdin leads parents through every step of the Kazdin Method in action - how to use tone of voice, when and how to touch, how to lead your child in a practice session, how to adjust your approach for different-age children, how to involve siblings, and more.The program is temporary, but the results are permanent - for very young children, adolescents, and even beyond.

Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

Teach Your Children Well acknowledges that every parent wants successful children. However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Behavioral based approach
While this approach does not discuss working on underlying feelings or needs that may be at roots of behaviors, it does give a practical and evidenced based approach to changing behavior. Seemed helpful for a range of ages.

Best Book Read Ever
This is book is pure magic! Following instructions in this book very closely, I have trained my 8-year-old twins to prepare for bed in 20 minutes and get in bed by 9:10 by themselves without prompt, read or do homework for 1 hour every night with 1 prompt, get up within 1 minute of the alarm clock by themselves, get dressed and finish breakfast (mostly veggies) in 50 minutes by themselves, jump rope 300 times daily with 1 prompt, and maintain a clean desk. I have reduced their tantrums by 80%. And the best is that I do longer need to yell or be angry or nag. I only need to smile a sweet smile, say the right words and give them lots of praise, hugs and kisses! So my relationship with my kids have never been better. I can honestly say that no book has so totally transformed my life as this one.
