About this listen

Dr. James Dobson has completely rewritten, updated, and expanded his classic best seller The Strong-Willed Child for a new generation of parents and teachers. The New Strong-Willed Child follows on the heels of Dr. Dobson's phenomenal best seller Bringing Up Boys. It offers practical how-to advice on raising difficult-to-handle children and incorporates the latest research with Dr. Dobson's legendary wit and wisdom.

The New Strong-Willed Child is for parents needing help dealing with sibling rivalry, ADHD, low self-esteem, and other important issues. This audiobook is a must-listen for parents and teachers struggling to raise and teach children who are convinced they should be able to live by their own rules!

Much needed advice…

Thank you Dr. Dobson, Tyndale and Audible for making this audio book available. The book has been recommended to me over and over along with other titles from Dr.Dobson in the hopes of raising my strong willed 5yo son without giving up on not only him but my own life as well. This book is as encouraging as it is insightful and a welcome instruction for our home. Since implementing many of the strategies from this teaching my husband and I have seen a monumental improvement in our son and home life is much more peaceful and joyful. I find it hard to read books without yawning every few minutes so the audio version was a great way for me to get through it. Thanks again and God Bless, Strong Willed Mama.

Useful methods on strong willed children

I enjoyed this book. Finally a book that affirms that corporate punishment is ok if administered correctly on a child that needs it. There are far too many parenting books that focuses on gentle parenting, and sometimes this method just does not work on all children no matter how much time and patience it takes. It makes me feel like a total failure when I fail 99% of the time using gentle parenting on my strong willed child. I use gentle parenting on my complaint child, and it works perfectly on him, he never needs corporate punishment. Every child is different, and this book is very useful for strong willed children in my opinion.

Too religious and non gentle for me

Would like a refund
Too religious centered for me, I don’t believe praying for the child will help me

Disgusted

It is never ok to hit a child. Was shocked, saddened and disgusted that such a respected author would condone and suggest such things.
