Navigating conflict is a challenge for every parent. With demands of family life and parenting, our time and resources are often limited. Parenting the Challenging Child offers a practical guide that provides structure as well as allows for the unique nature of your child and the challenges they face. If you want to get beyond the surface and have a closer connection with your child, this book is for you! - James Freeman, dad of three & Editor of the International Child & Youth Care Network (CYC-Net).

Parenting the Challenging Child” will help you become a more intentional parent. Whitson provides a structured Four-step Model for parents and caregivers for talking to a stressed-out young person. She has distilled therapeutic concepts into a very practical, user-friendly structure for parents and caregivers. If you believe being a parent is about asserting your power and authority, or purport “I had a tough life and so will you,” or your approach is to make-it-up as you go along, that is on you. If you believe that young people need significant adult role models who can positively matter though parenting, I highly recommend this resource. For anyone looking for effective strategies to assist with your own children, or parents you support, “Parenting the Challenging Child” by Whitson is a must read. - Dr. Randy Boardman, former school administrator, teacher, trainer, speaker, author and educational consultant for over 45 years.
