Description
Stop Struggling With a Difficult Child
Children often act out their discomfort and unhappiness in ways that create strain and difficulty at home and school. While some interventions work, many do not.
In The Changing Behavior Book, psychologist Dr. James Sutton offers an approach to child behavior that stresses noncoercive intervention, a reverence for relationships, and the teaching of critical skills that encourages difficult and defiant youngsters to repair their behaviors themselves.
Interventions presented build upon these observations and insights:
How the keys to solving difficult behavior are in plain sight Why rewards and incentives backfire How bad behavior ultimately is a skills problem Why some youngsters choose to stay angry ... and suffer for it How a noncoercive approach to confrontation can bring amazing results Why difficult youngsters are confused and frightened by their feelings How we unconsciously impose limits that block improvement Why we should help youngsters clear the last hurdle to healing: forgiveness ... and MORE!Advance Praise
"... Dr. Sutton's programs were so successful we offered his training all over the country, coast-to-coast. In many ways, The Changing Behavior Book is like having your own reserved seat right there in the front row!"
Wayne Babchuk, PhD, The University of Nebraska-lincoln
"... The Changing Behavior Book is an enticing and much-recommended pick for any parent who is struggling with a problem child and wants to adjust the behavior before it's too late."
"The Parent Shelf" - Midwest Book Review
" ... Jim makes us aware of how intensely worried and frightened a ‘bad-acting' child might feel, bringing us to an awareness that not all behavior is due to negative intention. Wouldn't that change the way we intervene?"
Doug Riley, EdD, best-selling author of The Defiant Child
" ... Dr. Jim's warmth and expertise shine through on every page. Best of all, his work will help parents teach their children how to change their behavior themselves.
Elizabeth Wilkins, Editor - Empowering Parents
"... This book will change countless livers for the better."
Jeffrey Bernstein, PhD, author of 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child
