Its Not Fair - Parenting the Bright and Challenging Child, by Gill Hines and AlisonBaverstock

This is a superb book for parents of challenging children who seem to have an answer for everything. Balanced and non-judgmental, it's interspersed with adult recollections of childhood episodes that had a huge impact on their later lives.
This is ultimately a reassuring, sensible and practical approach to parenting, which reminds the reader that parents are there to fix boundaries and provide limits, so that their children grow up to be responsible and independent members of society. It also reveals the potential fall-out from 'not' dealing with your children's challenging behaviour.
Guaranteed to make you feel better about your parenting skills, while offering pragmatic suggestions in a non-preachy manner.

I think this is a really important book for all parents of children who won't take no for an answer and need to win at any costs. I'd love to know what anybody else thinks of it?
