Good Series ...

By M. Junkins - May 24, 2009

Great book for helping kids deal with things

By workingmom - October 24, 2011

I have bought a few of these books by Dawn Huebner and I love them. They are really great at helping me as a parent help my kids work thru whatever we need to deal with right now. They are written in such a way that you can go thru the books together chapter-by-chapter and talk about things at each step. In this book, the focus starts with why we have bad habits and goes on to strategies on how to help your child get over them. Very helpful and highly recommended
