From Defiant to Delightful: Say Goodbye to Defiance, A Handbook for Parents

The number of children struggling with defiant behavior is staggering. Conventional treatment is not working. Traditional parenting is not working. Dr. Sandy Gluckman believes that this is because the defiant child is a deeply misunderstood child.

She writes, “Being defiant is a child’s way of sending parents a message. Your defiant child is trying to tell you, ‘I don’t need you to fix me. I don’t need you to drug me. I don’t need you to label me. I need you to know that something is going on inside of me that is causing me to behave this way. I need you to find it and fix it so that I can stop doing this’”

In this powerful and practical handbook, Dr. Gluckman completely reframes the concept of defiance and guides the reader through a whole new way of understanding why your child developed this behavior, how to identify the root causes and exactly how to HEAL this problem.

Instead of the traditional compartmentalized, fix-the child-from-the-outside-in approach, with diagnoses and medication, fancy parenting tools and therapy, Dr. Gluckman empowers parents with the knowledge and skills they need to HEAL their children on the inside of their beings where they are hurting.

Her highly effective ‘Parenting That Heals’ approach is truly unique is many ways. It is a comprehensive approach, that encompasses healing the spirit, brain and body all together, thereby ensuring that you are healing the whole child.
Additionally, what truly sets Dr Gluckman’s work apart is her emphasis on healing parents together with their children. Dr Sandy’s work is based on the scientifically proven phenomenon that when the parent heals the child heals.
