Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-19 00:00:00 Lee Hoyle Great book. Lots of information. It made me feel ready to have a premature twins if it happened. It didn't, but I had the information needed. Totally recommend it!

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-28 00:00:00 George Deal If you are interested in following a family's journey through living with a child with oppositional defiant disorder, the personal side of the author's journey is interesting. She writes about her loneliness and isolation, and also about the difficulties in finding treatment that actually works long-term. She also explains the agony and sadness her son has gone through with his anger and aggression. What frustrated me about the book is that although she details some very personal details about her son in an effort to help others, she really doesn't explain what really worked for him. He ended up on medication and with counseling, and even though I know that no one medication works for everyone, it would have been nice to hear which ones they tried, how her son handled them, etc... Also, once she found a doctor who could help her son through therapy, she really didn't explain what the doctor said or did to help her son.
