Description
A practical parenting book with quick-to-implement advice to build unspoiling attitudes and behaviors in your kids and raise a contented, happy, and fulfilled child through positive discipline.
Nearly 95% of parents feel like they are overindulging their children but feel powerless to stopping themselves. How to Unspoil Your Child Fast offers a straightforward and practical solution to fixing and preventing the problems of spoiling your children and offers concrete tips, simple strategies, and easy action steps for reversing the effects almost immediately.
Overindulged children may be prone to anxiety, depression, and troubled relationships. Some spoiled children can grow into spoiled adults unable to assume and manage the restraints, hardships, and responsibilities of adulthood or who view themselves as being above the laws of human consideration and respect. Author Richard Bromfield, Ph.D., a faculty member of Harvard Medical School with a private practice, draws on his experience as a child psychologist to show parents how they can stop this downward slide early and fast.
You'll learn how to:
- Identify if your child is over-indulged with a 12-item checklist
- Set boundaries, instill character, and promote self-sufficiency
- Stop tantrums and meltdowns in public and at home
It also includes a Q&A section that discusses questions, pitfalls, next steps, and effective solutions. Feel more confident, competent, and parent more consistently while instilling character and self-reliance in your children today.

What parents are saying:
Although my daughters like being doted on, they think I parent better...when I utilize many of Dr. Bromfield's suggestions. I highly recommend this book.
I immediately began using his techniques and suggestions and already have noticed a marked difference in my daughter's behavior.
This is short, easy to read. It is full of good points with a few examples to drive the point home. Well worth the money.
This was the collection of tips and thoughts that I needed to see real results quickly with my two awesome and no longer spoiled boys.
