Two clinical experts promise quick results with their unique common sense approach to behavior modification
"Fresh", defiant, and poorly behaved kids seem to be the norm today; but as Try and Make Me! shows, there are quick ways to end bad attitudes. Behavior experts Ray Levy, Ph.D., and Bill O'Hanlon — a bestselling author who has appeared on Oprah and Today — have devised a 7-level program of progressive steps that empower parents to stop defiant behavior and motivate kids not only to behave but also to think and solve their own problems. Addressing the problems of children from ages 2 to 12, this program has been used successfully with hundreds of kids. It produces quick results and an end to the day-to-day frustrations of dealing with a defiant child. For parents of defiant children, Try and Make Me! provides respite from the everyday battles and blazes a clear trail through today's swamp of parenting advice.
