About this product

Product Information

What's a parent supposed to do? From the time they are toddlers, children try to "press their parents' buttons" in order to get their way. Tommy threatens to run away from home. Jenny no longer talks to anybody and declines to eat dinner. Melissa yells out her bedroom window "I can't breathel I can't breathe!!" Bobby angrily spray paints the screwdriver display in the local hardware store. In "I Never Get Anything!" clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas W. Phelan identifies and describes the Six Kinds of Testing and Manipulation youngsters use to get their way: Badgering, Temper, Threat, Martyrdom, Butter Up and Physical Tactics. How parents think about and manage these normal testing strategies of frustrated children is a universal and critically important problem. And -- as Dr. Phelan points out -- not an easy job! Some parents become abusive tyrants, while others become spineless pushovers. Neither of these parental extremes is healthy, because kids who don't master the discipline of frustration tolerance early in life are going to be in trouble later in life. From the author of the best-selling and award winning 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12, "I Never Get Anything!" is a practical, humorous and down-to-earth guide that tells Moms and Dads exactly what to expect from frustrated children, and exactly how to handle it -- gently and firmly. With the help of this book, you can prevent your kids from running your life, enjoy your time with them and contribute toward raising the responsible adults of tomorrow. Book jacket.

thank you
it is very accurate and it is almost like they wrote it about my son within the first paragraph. I would like to see them include more options for the teachers at school that can be brought up with the parents as well
