This has some great strategies for parenting challenging children. The best parenting skills often come as a result of more than usual challenges and this book advocates parenting skills that can carry over to all kinds of relationships. But, like any skills worth having, they take practice and often go against our immediate instincts. Worth re-reading regularly.
