If you have a challenging boy, one who won’t 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 child—and in you as a parent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eChallenging Boys: A Proven Plan for Keeping Your Cool and Helping Your Son Thrive\u003c\/em\u003e, 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, recognise 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 child’s individual needs and each parent’s strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile challenging boys can make life difficult for parents, teachers, siblings, and peers, Davis emphasises that these children actually aren’t oppositional at all. They want to please, but often lack the skills to do so. \u003cem\u003eChallenging Boys\u003c\/em\u003e teaches parents how to help their boys develop these skills so that their natural gifts can shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470244462828,"sku":"9781538191125","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781538191125-challenging-boys.jpg?v=1775214567"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/james-timothy-davis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
