Hi everyone

I have decided to buy the following book and see if it works for me and my family.

The book for today is written by Dr Jeffrey Bernstein PHD.  It is called 10 days to a less defiant child - the breakthrough program for overcoming your childs difficult behaviour. The writer is Dr Jeffrey Bernstein - he has appeared on the Today show and has written other highly acclaimed books aimed at parenting. 

This book is aimed at parents of children with oppositional defiant disorder - but to be honest I think it would help all parents.  If you read the comments on Amazon, you will see that, as with all of these types of books, parents must review their own behaviour and made adjustments to that before starting on their child.

Lots of the reviews are saying that you can see the results in three days or less - well I will let you know how it goes in our house. At the moment, I am very surprised our neighbours havent called in the noise police given the number of shouting matches over this half term and weekend.

Anyway will read up and let you know my view. But, if you want to check out the 33 favourable reviews this book has received on Amazon just click the picture.

In the meantime, please check out the recent additions to our blog at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com or our site at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com

 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child: The Breakthrough Program for Overcoming Your Child’s Difficult Behavior

’til next time.

All the best

Welcome To Our Exceptional Kids Blog

Welcome to our blog - again. Rachel and I started this blog a few weeks ago but due to a technical error we lost our data and are now starting over. So, once again I welcome you to our blog and we hope that you come back and visit often.

Rachel and I are both mothers of special needs children and we know how difficult it can be raising a child that, although looks perfectly normal, does have some issues to deal with. We know how the behavior of a special needs child can often be mistaken as just ‘being naughty’ due to the fact that they don’t have any physically obvious looks of any medical problem.

In fact, I myself at first thought that my son was just going through a stage of bad behavior and I waited for him to outgrow it. It wasn’t until this behavior increasingly got worse over a few years to the stage that we then knew it was not just normal ‘being naughty’ behavior.

Sometimes it isn’t easy getting your child diagnosed when they don’t have all the obvious symptoms and the whole diagnosis process can be very frustrating. These are just some of the reasons that Rachel and I got together to create our site at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com  and this blog, so that we could share our experiences and our knowledge and so our visitors could read ‘real’ information from mothers who have lived it.

So we hope that you do gain some help from our site and blog and please feel free to leave us comments here on the blog. If there is anything that you would like to see included in our site or blog or even if you would like to tell us your story and we could publish it on our blog, then please leave a message in our comments.

If you haven’t already done so then have a look at our site http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com  

Take care
Sheryl
