Great book. Especially for someone with a child with autism.

This was a great book! Was not quit what I needed but was still a great book. I think this book would really help someone who works with or is a relative of a child with autism or other similar situation.

Life Changing

I can only describe this book as liberating. When I found it, our son was 5. I sat and cried with relief, knowing I was not alone. 7 years later I still quote many part of the books.

This concept alone has totally helped me to better understand my family and friends...

Too many times my husband and I want to just give up on this child and say something like, "Well, at least his brother and sister are good!"

Finally, some GOOD advice!

How many times had I heard, "yup, he's all boy" or "he sure is active", or "he just needs a good spanking"...but I always felt that no one truly understood what I was going through with my "spirited" child. I read "The Strong Willed Child" by Dobson, I read "The Dicipline Book" by Dr. Sears, still nothing seemed to explain the problems I was having with my child. I had just about decided that I must have done something...
