Product Description |
A lifesaving handbook for parents of children who
are occasionally, or too often, "out of control"
Includes a bound-in twenty-minute DVD featuring
Dr. Kazdin and his staff illustrating key concepts of
the Kazdin Method
Most child-behavior books are filled with advice that
sounds reasonable, fits with what parents already
believe about child-rearing, and is—as Dr. Kazdin proves—
guaranteed to fail. The Kazdin Method for Parenting the
Defiant Child makes available to parents for the first time
Dr. Kazdin's proven program—one backed up by some of
the most long-term and respected research devoted to any
therapy for children.
Kazdin shatters decades' worth of accumulated myths
about tantrums, time-outs, punishments fitting the crime,
and much more.With the practicality of Ferber and the warmth
of Brazelton, Kazdin leads parents through every step of the
Kazdin Method in action—how to use tone of voice, when and
how to touch, how to lead your child in a "practice" session,
how to adjust your approach for different-age children, how to
involve siblings, and more.The program is temporary, but the
results are permanent—for very young children, adolescents,
and even beyond. |

Best Investment for Yourself and Your Children |
|
This book is the best investment I've ever made in Parenting Books. It's easy to follow and apply, and it brings out the very best in my children and in myself. So often I've struggled with disciplining my children~on how to do it effectively. That is no longer the case! Hats off to Dr. Kazdin and all those who collaborated to put together a wonderfully positive, practical and EFFECTIVE approach to changing undesirable behavior. I cannot say enough GOOD about his book!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! |

Great for Potty-training |
|
In a nutshell the Kazdin-method is about instructing kids on the behaviors you want them to perform. Its not about correcting or punishing the behaviors you don't want. Using this method, I kneeled-down next to my very resistive three-year old grand-daughter, placed my arm around her and simply asked her to "use the big girl potty next time you come to grandpa's house." To my surprise, the child's parents called the next day and said, "Guess What?," "She's potty-trained!" |

Reviews are right |
|
Saw this book advertised as a must read in a weekly US magazine. The title is misleading because the book is a primer for "all" parents, not those that have a defiant child, that want to better utilize sound parenting methods. These techniques help one understand why and put into practice methods that relly work based on years of observation and actions by the author. |

KAZDIN METHOD is a WINNER!!! |
|
This new parenting resource, by the current president of the American Psychological Association and director of the Yale Parenting Center and Conduct Clinic, is THE MOST PHENOMENAL PARENTING BOOK I'VE EVERY READ! As a pediatric nurse and parent of an anxious 9-year-old and occasionally defiant 11-year-old, I was searching for ways to decrease conflict and stress in our family. I checked out this book from the library and thought I'd read a chapter or two that evening, but I ended up staying up until 2 am to finish the book because I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! The next morning, I purchased copies of the book for myself, my brother-in-law, and my mom (who's a child therapist). Very easy to read and refreshingly down-to-earth (even funny at times), Kazdin's book is ABSOLUTELY REVOLUTIONARY in his approach to help parents understand WHY certain discipline methods are ineffective and WHAT parents can do to really change children's behavior WITHOUT THE USUAL POWER STRUGGLES, YELLING, OR HARSH PUNISHMENTS. Also, my kids are very excited about the positive changes in our family! "WOW!" is all I can say! I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to family, friends, coworkers, and parents of my patients at work. THANK YOU, DR. KAZDIN! |

Solid and Logical Advice |
This is a very well written book. It is surprisingly lighthearted considering the content. I found myself chuckling several times over situations that were covered in the book because I felt as though Dr. Kazdin had been sitting in the corner of my room observing me and my frustrations and then wrote this book to show me all hope is not lost!!!
Dr. Kazdin's methods follow a very logical (and scientifically based) approach that lead to some very solid advise on how to handle not only extreme children, but also "typically" developing ones.
I have three year old twins, one of which is considered to have developmental issues, the other is considered "typically" developing. I have been able to apply The Kazdin Method to both children successfully.
I highly recommend this book to anyone with children that display any level of defiance. I'm guessing that would cover most kids, but I will allow for that small percentage who feel their child is perfect. |
