The Bright Kid Challenge: Ending Conflict and Unlocking the Potential of Smart, Challenging Children

"She just gets something into her mind and won't give it up."

"He always has to have the last word."

"She charms me right out of disciplining her."

"He just won't take no for an answer."

Do you find yourself saying these things about your child? If so, you may have a bright kid challenge. Bright kids aren't bad kids - they're incredibly smart, irresistibly adorable, and ultimately admirable. But they've found a way to get what they want and will keep using it over and over, driving parents and teachers crazy!

The Bright Kid Challenge shows you how to handle and nurture smart kids who aren't bad, but have found ways to get away with doing bad things. They come in a variety of types:

• The Negotiator
• The Competitor
• The Debater
• The Manipulator
• The Passive Resister
• The Dare Devil

With these simple strategies, you can get past any conflict and see your child make the most of their incredible talents.
