Children can be difficult sometimes. We know this from experience. Children talk back, don't want to go to bed or come up with all sorts of ways to get out of obligations, among other things. They are still children. But sometimes we all worry: can this behavior still be called normal? And what do you do then?
This book by Peter Prinzie can be a good guideline. He has extensively researched the behavior of children. In addition, he has collected a wealth of data from parents and teachers and sets out the latest scientific insights into raising children with more difficult behavior in a fluent and accessible language: what are the different forms of difficult behavior, and how does this behavior evolve? What role do upbringing and the personality of the child play? Parents and educators are given a wealth of practical and scientifically based parenting tips to correct the difficult behavior of children.
