Raising children can be a daunting task, and it's even more daunting when you have a "difficult" child.

When it comes to hands-on experience dealing with the "baddest of the bad" children, Rick Kirkham's background and credentials are second to none.

After 33 years experience in martial arts training, 11 years dealing with school children with behavioural problems, and 3 children of his own, Rick has developed a simple, but highly efficient, system for teaching you, the parent, how to raise your child to be more positive and more confident.

But this is not just a book for helping you with problematic children. It has quite a number of tips on how to make a good child even better.

Some topics covered are:

How to acknowledge positive behaviour.

Why grounding, spanking and yelling don't work, and what the alternatives are.

How to use time-outs effectively.

How to use short and long-term reward systems.

Study techniques for spelling, maths and other subjects.

How to use a timer to get added co-operation from your child.

Generously sprinkled with real-life examples, Rick's book is easy to understand and a joy to follow.

If your child is currently giving you headaches, then this book will give you the relief you have been looking for. It will also help your child achieve even more outstanding results if they are already doing well.

In fact, the information you will learn is just as effective on adults as it is on children.

So, no matter what your situation, if you are dealing with children or adults, you will get better results from them if you use the techniques shared in Raising Your Child to be More Positive and More Confident ... guaranteed!
