Summary: Changed our Lives!
Comment: I was looking for a book to help my boy and me (he was in Grade 1 last year and was having real terrible problems in school to the point the headmaster and teachers found it hard to handle him). I have been having problems handling him myself eversince he was 3 years old. After reading this book, it has really opened my eyes to my type of parenting (authoritarian) and to what "type" of child he is. He is hyperactive and after applying the many advice and parenting techniques, his behavior (and mine) have changed a lot for the better! The "Support through Listening" has given us a breakthrough. My son, knowing now that I understand him, has such a confidence that it had brought him out of a lot of his temper tantrums at home and it had also helped in his low self-esteem. The positive and negative feedback had been truly helpful and the reward system has made life a lot easier. Though I have not put everything that was suggested into practice, I am keeping this as a handbook - will be incorporating bit by bit the productive parenting techniques into our (my husband and I) lives. I thank God for this fantastic book and am deeply grateful to Dr Edwards for his brilliant "workable" strategies and for the encouragement that we've (the whole family) benefitted from it! I have recommended this book to some of my friends.

Summary: Simple and effective handling of a hard to handle subject
Comment: Dr. Edwards provides advice on handling the HTH kid. The approach he uses is based upon his vast knowledge and experience in the the field of child psychology. I found that the advice he gives in his book is both simple and sage. He stresses consistency and calm, which produces positive results.
I have even met Dr. Edwards and know first hand that the methods espoused in his book are the ones he practices on a daily basis. In our area he is known by both deed and reputation. He does not speak above you or below you. He does not assume that you are a bad parent because you have a HTH kid. Throughout the book, he imparts simplistic wisdom, through understanding why the behaviors occur and how they can be "changed". This is not a "pop-psychology" quick fix fad book. It gives you reasonable steps to provide reasonable structure and consistency for your child.
HTH kids have a good "extra" parent in Dr. Edwards. He provides calm and reasonable solutions to understanding the HTH kids. He has made me a better parent by showing that even parents need to have structure and guidance.
Even if you do not have a HTH kid, by following Dr. Edwards advice, you will be a better parent and your child benefit from your newfound wisdom.

Summary: Solid, helpful advice
Comment: The ideas on dealing with bedtime hassles made my life, and my girl's, much easier. She can still be difficult, but I've learned how to respond more effectively.
