The Strong Willed Child by James Dobson

I just finished this book, and it was a bit of a window into the mind of a tantrum proned, manipulative child. What I understand is that I am being tested to see if I am worthy to be the authority (one of them) at my own home. Game on! I've learned to exercise this stern discipline when my little one intentionally decides not to obey and outright rebels when I need him to do something. It's better to establish the rules and boundaries first, and then enforce them if they are crossed as soon as it happens. If I do this sooner than later, I can avoid a simmering confrontation boil over later. I hope this will help me, but the journey with parenting is a day by day thing. I'm going to mess up, but then I'm gonna get up and try to be better next time. Will someone please pass the Lindt truffles?
