Publisher's Summary
Turn conflict into cooperation....
Many parents suspect their strong-willed child is deliberately trying to drive them crazy. Difficult to discipline and seemingly impossible to motivate, these children present unique, exhausting, and often-frustrating challenges to the those who love them.
But strong will is not a negative trait. These same children have firm convictions, high spirits, a sense of adventure - all the makings of a great adult. In this book you'll discover how to channel that passion and determination in positive ways as you build a healthy relationship. Through insights gained from strong-willed people of all ages, you'll...
- Better understand how their minds really work.
- Discover positive ways to motivate your strong-willed child.
- Learn how to share control without compromising parental authority.
- Apply key tactics to survive a meltdown.
- Get practical tips for parents who disagree, blended families, and single parents.
Packed with immediately useful strategies to drastically reduce the level of tension in the home (or in the classroom), You Can't Make Me shows how you can start today to build a stronger, more positive relationship with your strong-willed child.

It is sound advice.
I believe that the strategies and guidelines that the author provides in the book to be sound advice. The author does point out that the book is a collection of universal themes that she has observed or filtered out of interviews with strong-willed individuals. I find that her observations parallel some of the more formally researched books that I have read on child development topics.
The only caution I can give is that the book is written with a Christian overtone. Not that it bothers me at all, but I can assure you that some people that I know would not take the book seriously because of this choice. If you look past the bible readings and the frequent references to what God says... this is a fantastic resource. If you are Christian in faith, I believe you will find this book invaluable and relatable.

Great Encouragement For Parents of a SWC
Thank you Cynthia for the encouragement and tools that I needed as I take on my strong willed toddler. I’ve already began to implement some of the strategies and seen such a change in her attitude and mine.
