My mom just bought me a book by Dr James Dobson. 'The New Strong Willed Child'. It's a revision of a past book he wrote. I don't care for reading but I'm reading it out of neccessity. My 3 year old is AWFUL. I am relating with the stories of this book on a personal level. I have felt like a horrible parent, thinking that I've done something wrong for her to act this way but I've learned that this is just HER and who she is.

Anyone else raise/raising strong willed children. Any advice or pointers?

Having RA on top of all of this is really putting me through the wringer.

Harmless. It is a tough job.

I have heard Dr Dobson book was a good one to read.

My Wife and I are Foster Parents. Last year we had 4 syblings and 2 of them would fall into your category. You would not believe the outside support from Social Services, Pyschologist . etc to deal with those guys.

During the time they were in our home we were introduced to ...

Love and Logic Child Rearing. My wife and I both looked at each other and thought . we could have used this 25 years ago. when Our kids where young..

It is an approach like none other. and it works . we used it on the syblings last year..

is there website. There is about 1` or 2 hours of audio you can download and listen to samples.

There material is pricey.. but look on Ebay for it or if your city you live in has a large church with a library it may very well be in it. Our agency that we work for has it in there library and we brought it home and read/watched and listened to it . It is also the kind of stuff you need to listen to several times to absorb..

Good luck.
