Is Your Child Like Dennis?
There are some children who are a sheer pleasure to be around and then there are others who have a penchant for mischief. For the last 60 years, comic strip lovers who adore Hank Kethcham’s Dennis The Menace have enjoyed the humorous antics of a boy who always manages to get into trouble regardless of his parents’ efforts.

Hollywood has capitalized on this with movies such as Problem Child, Nanny McPhee to reality TV shows like Nanny 911.
Parents Need Help, Not Medication!
We have all seen kids out there that act out. Clearly, they are the ones in charge of their parents as they demonstrate bad behavior, especially in public places like supermarkets, restaurants and parks. Some parents, who are at the end of their rope, will try anything in hopes of getting their kids to listen. Some, will even resort to pills! Clearly, that is not a solution for many parents who do not wish to sedate their own children. The bottom line is this: children that demonstrate bad behavior are tough to handle because they tend to disobey rules or orders. Parents need solutions, not prescriptions!
What if you could use your child’s uncooperative behavior to positively reinforce good behavior? In the book, Dr. Riley’s Box of Tricks, 80 uncommon solutions for everyday parenting problems, this is exactly what Dr. Douglas Riley instructs troubled parents to do with a touch of humor and love.
Dr Riley's Box Of Tricks Is An Essential Book For All Parents!

Whew! I’ll be listening to this one for sure! M kids aren’t completely defiant, but they are mischevious, and I am always on my toes to come up with creative solutions to their antics!
I think for every kid we need a specialist doctor studying his behavior, the most complex studies are the one related to children 🙂
I found this very helpful with my kid. Thanks~
