Winner of a 1998 Parents' Choice Approval
"Readers negotiating the icy roads and blizzard-like conditions of raising a
defiant child will find that this book shifts them into four-wheel drive. The
advice in these pages not only makes the road less treacherous--it helps parents
drive it with confidence, and helps the whole family arrive at their destination
happier and wiser for the trip they took. Barkley and Benton draw upon a wealth
of experience with real families, as well as a thorough command of the latest
research and scientific findings, to create an easy-to-read, practical, immensely
informative work."
-Edward M. Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Answers to Distraction
"This book distills the wisdom of an approach that Dr. Barkley and others have been developing for more than 20 years. As a school psychologist, I have used this program since 1990 in a group setting with over 1,300 parents, the majority of whom found it beneficial. Finally, parents have a manu al to help them implement the program at home. It is supportive, nonjudgmental, and filled with practical suggestions and true-to-life anecdotes. All parents who are concerned about their children's behavior should read this book."
-Frederick L. Quici, NCSP, Alta Loma School District , Alta Loma, California
"This book provides step-by-step, practical help for parents of children who are difficult to manage. It affords new hope to families desiring a more peaceful and fulfilling life together. Invaluable for parents, teachers, and clinicians."
-Sylvia B. Rimm, PhD, Director, Family Achievement Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center , Cleveland , Ohio

Every child has "ornery" moments, but more than 1 in 20 American children exhibit behavioral problems that
are out of control. For readers struggling with an unyielding or combative child, Your Defiant Child: Eight Steps to Better Behavior
offers the understanding and guidance they 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. The book's comprehensive eight-step program
stresses consistency and cooperation, promoting changes through a system of praise, rewards, and mild punishment. Readers learn tools and strategies
for establishing clear patterns of discipline, communicating with children on a level they can understand, and reducing family stress overall. Filled
with helpful charts, questionnaires, and checklists, Your Defiant Child helps parents get their child's behavior back on track and restore
harmony in the home.
