“I do a lot of counseling with parents and often recommend your book as a fabulous tool for parents of strong-willed children. My own redheaded rebel, who is a delightful adult now, tried every bit of patience I had. When I attended one of your sessions at an AMS conference several years ago, I discovered your book! I buy them to keep on hand for parents who need help!”
