I read this book after buying it for my daughter who has two internationally adopted children. I purchased the book because it comes highly recommended by adoptive parents.

This is one book that all parents should read and keep handy for referencing whether their children are biological or adopted. It really confers with many issues that arise with raising strong willed children. It lets parents know and understand that they are not alone and that there are ways to handle the problems that arise. It really teaches the parents the importance of understanding the child’s temperament, and how using positive methods rather then negatives can make a huge difference.

For parents who are dealing with a child that is a tantrum thrower, this book can help you understand the best way to handle the child’s behavior, and how to curb tantrums and melt-downs before they happen, as well as what to do during and after the tantrum.

I highly recommend this book for all parents, as well as expecting parents, of both biological and adopted children.
