Occasional clashes between parents and children are not uncommon, but when defiant behavior ? such as tantrums, resistance to chores, and negativity ? becomes chronic, it can cause big problems within the family.

This powerful and exceptionally reader-friendly guide explains what causes defiance in kids, why it's so destructive to the family, and shows parents step-by-step how they can end the behavior. Simple-to-follow and extremely effective, 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child will bring much-needed relief to the millions of frustrated parents out there living with defiant children.

Wonderful...this book brought me to tears

My 8 year old son is a defiant child. I've known it since he was born. I was always envious when I saw other parents with their children that seemed calm and happy. We lived our lives in constant stress, always ready for the next "scene" when my son would say something rude or hit his sister or even hit or push me. My husband and I wanted so desperately to be happy, but we just couldn't get through to our son.

I cried many times as I read through this book because it describes exactly so many situations that we live through on a day to day basis. I always thought I was alone in this and it would be a lifelong struggle to try to raise a kind, responsible boy... a struggle that I wasn't sure I would be successful at.

I am not yet through the entire book, but I feel compelled to write a review because it has changed my life. From the first day that we started implementing the author's suggestions, my son improved. After a week now, we are a different family. We are happy most of the time. There is no more screaming and little crying. We are talking! The book has not only taught me about my son, but also has helped me to reflect on my own choices, thoughts, and actions (which is perhaps the most difficult aspect of all) and has taught me a lot about myself.

The book gives excellent explanations and examples without being preachy or long-winded. I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with a defiant child.

Terrific!

Being the parents of a 14 year old girl heading to high school and an 11 year old ADHD/ODD boy about to start middle school, we need all the help we can get. We fear that our son's ODD will eventually morph into conduct disorder and are willing to try anything to save him (and us) from that. Also, we have been feeling the pain of a defiance issue forming with our daughter as she enters her teenage years. Our home has been a literal battleground nearly every day for years now.

We purchased this book with high hopes of bringing some peace to our home and we have not been disappointed. We started seeing real results around Day Three. It's amazing how real world advice and insight into our own behaviors has brought about such dramatic results! With our new parenting techniques and a lot of prayers, we plan to keep peace in our lives. Thank you Dr. Bernstein!

10 Days to a Less Defiant Child

Excellant book to help with a defiant child. Good information for practical use.

Great Help for Parents of Strong-Willed kids!

We just learned our 7 year old daughter is considered "strong-willed" and found this book to be the easiest read on the subject. It contains practical information and is written in such a way as to keep our interest. It is not bogged down with a lot of psycho babble which makes us crazier than we already are! Highly recommend you take a look at this book if you have a child in this category.
