Summary: A brilliance in the art of raising children
Comment: The experience of reading this book was a bliss. For all of us who had strong willed children, this book is the real deal.
Written clearly, well structured, with extremely real examples that one can find in most areas of parenting.
This book is a reference, and also a motive to look within ourselves and really understand what we need to be willing to do to raise healthy children, for their sake and ours.
I strongly recommend this to any parent, period.

Summary: Perhaps not for the toddler years?
Comment: I bought this book to help me with discipline strategies for my head-strong 3 year old. The book gave me a few helpful hints, however, many of them are hard to apply with a 3-year old. I am thinking the book will be better suited for me when I am the parent of a school-aged child or even a teenager.
Overall I really liked the ideas presented in this book. They make sense to me and they certainly help explain power-struggles that often occur between parents and children. I plan to keep this book on my shelf as a future reference but as I mentioned, it only *barely* helps with younger kids. That's the reason I only gave it 4 stars.

Summary: I Have a Strong Willed Child
Comment: If anyone feels the stress of raising a strong willed child, THEY NEED THIS BOOK! It has made me understand how my child views things and how to better interact with and discipline my child. Better yet, it helps me recognize when my child pulls me into a battle where I usually get worn down, fraustrated and give it to her wants. I have my power back, I feel more confident in my parenting and I don't get fraustrated and upset with her. More importantly, we are building a mutually respectful and loving relationship. This is one book I intend to pass on after I read it a couple more times. I don't want to miss a thing!~

Summary: "Very Helpful
Comment: This book was so helpful! I have read other books about my "spirited" son but they mainly describe personality and how to work with it. "Setting Limits" was wonderful because it gave detailed steps about talking with and interacting with your strong willed child. There is nothing so revolutionary in here - it's back to basics but the plan really works. Best of all, the book is very comprehensive yet it's not so long that you can't read it quickly and start using it right away. I have really seen a difference already!
