Does your child:
Refuse to obey, frequently fly into temper, be aggressive?
Struggle to concentrate, lack organization in tasks?
Be unwilling or unable to solve problems themselves, and expect immediate methods and answers?
Seem unsociable? Or even more serious—doctors say your child has oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, mood disorders, autism, or something like Tourette's syndrome, Asperger's syndrome, etc.?
The author, a pediatric expert and behavioral psychology specialist at Harvard Medical School, will help you:
Reduce hostility between children and adults, predict situations where children are prone to anger, create a supportive environment, minimize emotional outbursts, communicate effectively with children, work collaboratively to solve problems rather than solely relying on rewards or punishment, and help cultivate children's adaptive skills to appropriately handle problems and endure setbacks.
