CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach -
An excellent book for anybody wanting/needing to find an effective alternative for parenting their intense/difficult child. This book provides the framework and tools needed to begin seeing dramatic behavioral changes in your child. The book must be read from beginning to end before deciding whether this approach will work for you or not. Get ready for change/transformation!

Pleased Parent -
We went to a child therapist with an emotionally "difficult" child who had biten another child at daycare during naptime. The methods in this book when applied properly work miracles. Don't expect an overnight result. It takes time, patience, and the parents doing their part, but it works. My daughter is now a pleasant and happy child.

Disagree about overuse of metaphor -
I really disagree with the reviewer who took issue with the editing of this book and felt there were too many metaphors. While I was DESPERATE for help with my daughter, I found the first section to be very enlightening, since I've tried several different approaches with my daughter to no avail. This first section both introduced a new paradigm and debunked several of the approaches I had tried, explaining why they DON'T work. I found this extremely helpful. Yes, I needed the meat of the matter, but the first section of the book is by no means too difficult to get through, and helps me understand just why I've been failing at helping my child.

NOT JUST FOR DIFFICULT CHILDREN!! What a helpful book!! -
Like many of my peers, I too want to do the best possible job raising my children. The desire to be respectful and supportive does not always involve consistent discipline, but it should! Anyone with a sensitive, loving child can benefit from this book. Any parent who feels like they have tried every trick in the book to promote good behavior in their children, but can't seem to gain compliance in their kids, will benefit from this book.
I was recommended this book by our psychologist, whom we have been seeing because I ran out of coping strategies for dealing with my very sensitive, very smart, and very compliant child who seemed addicted to PUSHING MY BUTTONS!! Turns out, the very emotional responses I had to my child's poor behaviors, was promoting the very things I was trying to "punish away" Time outs escalated into screaming matches and made me feel like a drill Sargent, not very productive, and definitely not respectful or supportive! Transforming the Difficult Child has opened my eyes to "accentuate the positive" and "down play the negative" In short, shifting all of my aggravated tirades into positive reinforcement of GOOD behaviors. Within two weeks of implementing this style of attention, my 5 year old was more relaxed, more cheerful, more agreeable and happier than I had ever seen him. In turn, he was also less anxious, stopped a nervous habit of lip licking that had been with him for two years, and lots of chapped skin! He now knows that he is good MOST of the time, and only bad once in a while. I was failing to acknowledge his good behavior, because that is what we think of as "expected" but He was feeling as if he was always bad, because our energy was always spent on correcting bad behaviors.
Please read this book if you recognize any of the above story, or if you know someone who is in constant power struggles with their children. This book has a simple, gentle, loving and supportive plan of action that will change your Family for the better, even if your child isn't difficult. After all, we all want someone to acknowledge our good behaviors, who better to do it than your parent!!

Real help for desperate parents of challenging children -
We adopted 2 boys through the foster system. Both of our boys have high energy and came to us with some inherent behavioral problems. We were able to help both of our boys with the help of the techniques we learned while attending a seminar taught by Howard Glasser. We've gone back to this book again and again when we needed to refresh our resolve to do conscious parenting. I highly recommend this book. I recently bought my 4th copy of this book because I've given away the first 3 books to people we knew who were struggling with a challenging child.
