Book Description
How to help--and cope with--the difficult child
Expanded and completely revised, the classic and definitive work on parenting hard-to-raise children with new sections on ADHD and the latest medications for childhood disorders.
Temperamentally difficult children can confuse and upset even experienced parents and teachers. They often act defiant, stubborn, loud, aggressive, or hyperactive. They can also be clingy, shy, whiny, picky, and impossible at bedtime, mealtimes, and in public places. This landmark book has been completely revised to include the latest information on ADHD, medications, and a reassuring approach to all aspects of childhood behavioral disorders.
In this parenting classic, Dr. Stanley Turecki, one of the nation's most respected experts on children and discipline--and himself the father of a once difficult child--offers compassionate and practical advice to parents of hard-to-raise children. Based on his experience with thousands of families in the highly successful Difficult Children Program he developed for Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, his step-by-step approach shows you how to:
Identify your child's temperament using a ten-point test to pinpoint specific difficulties
Manage common--often "uncontrollable"--conflict situations expertly and gently
Make discipline more effective and get better results with less punishment
Get support from schools, doctors, professionals, and support groups
Understand ADHD and other common diagnoses, and decide if medication is right for your child
Make the most of the tremendous potential and creativity that many "difficult" children have
Drawing on his experience with thousands of families in his highly successful Difficult Child Program, Dr. Turecki shows parents how to:
Identify their child's difficult temperament using a ten-point test to pinpoint specific difficulties
Manage typical conflict situations expertly and kindly
Make discipline more effective and get better results with less punishment
Get support from schools, doctors, and others
Understand ADHD and other common diagnoses, and decide whether medication is right for their child
Make the most of the child's creativity and potential -->

Easy answers to hard questions,
By a parent of three (alameda, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Difficult Child: Expanded and Revised Edition (Paperback)
This book would be a useful resource for any parent planning to run a residential school for troubled children, because many of the suggested solutions would fit that paradigm. The chapters discussing temperment, fit, and how we feed into our childrens' behavior might be useful for a parent at the end of their rope or one simply curious about their child. There are good ways to relate to difficult children. Reading other books on the subject, making connections to good parents who will let you vent and give experience-based advice, and taking lots of deep breaths would probably be time better spent than in the company of these authors.

A Relief to have some tools,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Difficult Child: Expanded and Revised Edition (Paperback)
As with some of the other reviews I found the title to be a bit distracting but felt the author truly understood my child and our issues. I believe I am better equipped to understand and nurture my son now that I can identify the root of his behaviors.
3.0 out of 5 stars
not enough help for us,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Difficult Child: Expanded and Revised Edition (Paperback)
Dr. Turecki has a difficult child and he describes some personality traits that help one to understand one's child and the various obnoxious behaviors. That part was helpful. The reality is that he does give some clues to helping the behavior of some kids, but our son was 2.5 yrs old and there is little to help with a difficult age and a very challenging child. Perhaps the best part of the book was that our son didn't fit the category of "mother killer" close, but not really. I guess I can be relieved about that. The rest of the time, I wonder when my volcano boy will choose to erupt.
