The Strong-willed Child - Birth Through Adolescence;

This is an excellent book by Dr. James Dobson. Dr. Dobson describes this strong willed child this way: "Just as surely as some children are naturally compliant...there are others who seem to be looking for a fight upon exit from the womb. Such a child comes into the world smoking a cigar and barking orders in the delivery room... This little powerhouse needs a special kind of understanding and discipline from his parents." The Strong-Willed Child is a how-to book on discipline and child rearing. He focuses on sibling rivalry, hyperactivity, self-esteem, and the common errors made by very frustrated parents.
