    A MUST HAVE!!

    Since Dr. Borba is not available for house calls, thank goodness we have her book! My husband and I, both pediatricians, LOVED her clear, concise writing style that offers real-life problem solving techniques. This book belongs on every parent's bookshelf! I've recommended this book to countless parents and teachers alike...A MUST HAVE!!

    Attitude Check

    When it comes to dealing with a difficult child or, at least, a difficult situation, Dr. Borba has the right attitude! Her writing is clear and entertaining; her suggestions are practical and down-home. I suggest parents (and teachers, too) get their hands on this title immediately. It will benefit all of us, adults and children alike.
