Great advice, so timely.
We have two boys - 11 going on 12 this month and 9 going to be 10 in dec. the 11 is asserting his independence more and more. At times we struggle to communicate effectively with him. He can no longer be expected to comply like his younger brother. This book offers great methods and mindsets for us to approach him more effectively.. and we’re making progress already!
