Two clinical experts offer a straightfoward approach to behavior modification in children, creating a seven-level program designed to empower parents to motivate and strengthen children through measured discipline. 30,000 first printing.

With little jargon and plenty of clarity, Ray Levy and Bill O'Hanlon, with writer Tyler Norris Goode, provide specific, sensible advice to parents who struggle with uncooperative children. Try and Make Me: A Revolutionary Program for Raising Your Defiant ChildAWithout Losing Your Cool first defines and explains children's defiance (including the ways parents can inadvertently encourage such behavior), and then systematically explores many possible solutions. Emphasizing consequence-based strategies designed to make children reasonably responsible for their actions, the authors refer again and again to anecdotes that will reassure parents that they're not alone.
