Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The strength of the will is a characteristic that some children seem to be born with. These children are easy to raise, and they never spit up on the way to church. #2 The Strong-Willed Child was written in 1978, and since then, much has changed with regards to how we raise children. The book was revised to reflect this new information. #3 The author’s original intent was to help parents raise strong-willed children, but today’s parents are facing many more challenges than they did when the book was first written. They need a well-designed game plan to navigate through those challenges. #4 The author’s friend was a recreational pilot who flew toward his home base when he was younger. He could not see the hazy runway below because of the sun’s setting behind a mountain. He flew his plane around in the blackness of the night, afraid of death.
