Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book should be a part of every parent's and school's reference library." (Judy E. Hunt-Brown, principal)

life changing book

this is an amazing book, I wish I had read it so long ago. the principles in it offer great guidance to change what is happening in your household, and the examples make it easy to relate to and apply.

Really Good Tools for teaching your child

If you could sum up Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child in three words, what would they be?

I found this book to be very helpful. I even tried some of the techniques with great results. I come from the southern way of discipline and the tools illustrated in this book are more effective.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

What does Alan Sklar bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He voice was very soothing and clear. I felt like he was teaching me with patience and understanding.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction but I did have quite a few "AH-HA" moments.

EVERY PARENT (or teacher) should read this book!!!

I wish I had found this book a decade ago. Such clear information and examples that I feel I could have really changed the course of things had I had this info sooner!! At least it's never too late to start being consistent!!

Must read

Great suggestions and ideas for strong willed children. Tried with my 12, 9 and 7 year old. Staying on top of their testing and misbehaving is hard. Following through and being consistant is key.

Brilliant!!!

Would you listen to Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child again? Why?

Of course, this is very practical and realistic. Very well crafted. I haven't finished listening but I have learned so much. It's so easy to understand and follow and the narrator is very good, I don't know why the other reviewer characterized it as a difficult listen. He read it the way it should have been read, even the dialogues were so appropriate and intonation just perfect!

What other book might you compare Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child to and why?

I bought that Scream-Free Parenting, returned it because it beat around the bush too much. Not practical at all, I have been a child care provider for more than 40 years and I should know.

Have you listened to any of Alan Sklar’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first time.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Consistency, firmness and respect are essential in dealing with difficult children.

Great resource

Love this book. Very valuable information. I learned a lot of great stuff to use with my strong-willed and complainant children.

Finally, someone understands my kid!

I found myself nodding my head frequently during this book. Just started using this method, and it seems promising.

Without A DOUBT...

A most powerful, practical parent/educator resource NOT TO BE MISSED! Provides invaluable opportunity for growth and change in BOTH child and parents.

Great parenting guide

I’ll be referring back to this often and asking my husband to study it with me! Great techniques, clear examples and it feels doable! Thank you!!!

Very good information

You have to embrace the whole book to get the answers to all your questions. Meaning, don't think you can just skim the book or juat read the first few chapters. The author gave PLENTY of examples and scenarios to compare to your own children. I learned a lot from this book.
