<b>An innovative approach for parents of challenging boys to prevent meltdowns and put out fires</b><br><br>Parenting is often called the toughest job you will ever love. If you have a challenging boy, one who wont take no for an answer, argues every decision, and explodes at the slightest provocation, you know how incredibly tough parenting can be. But with the right tools, you can bring out the best in your childand in you as a parent.<br><br>In <i>Challenging Boys: </i><i>A Proven Plan for Keeping Your Cool and Helping Your Son Thrive</i>, Timothy Davis draws on his experience as a child and family psychologist, father of three, and volunteer firefighter to help parents remain calm and in control even when it feels like the house is on fire during yet another meltdown. Like a firefighter, Davis teaches parents how to create a plan ahead of time to prepare for emergencies. He shows how to identify and manage specific triggers, recognize the patterns that challenging episodes follow, and plan for de-escalating a meltdown when it does occur. This plan is not a one-size-fits-all approach, because every boy is unique; instead, it is based on the childs individual needs and each parents strength.<br><br>While challenging boys can make life difficult for parents, teachers, siblings, and peers, Davis emphasizes that these children actually arent oppositional at all. They want to please, but often lack the skills to do so. <i>Challenging Boys </i>teaches parents how to help their boys develop these skills so that their natural gifts can shine.
