10 Days to a Less Defiant Child

Occasional clashes between parents and children are common, but when defiant behavior - such as tantrums, resistance to chores, and negativity - becomes chronic, it can cause big problems within the family. In 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child child and family psychologist Dr. Jeff Bernstein has developed a ground-breaking 10-day program to help parents gain back control over their defiant child or teen. This powerful and exceptionally reader-friendly guide helps parents understand why their kids act the way they do, why defiance is so destructive to the family, and shows them step-by-step how they can end the behavior and improve their relationship. Bernstein also offers tips and exercises to help parents evaluate their own behavior and respond to their defiant child in a more constructive manner. Simple-to-follow and extremely effective, 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child will bring much-needed relief to the millions of frustrated parents living with defiant children.
