Dr. James Dobson was very helpful as my son was growing up. While reading “The Strong-Willed Child,” I was sure he was writing about my son. This helped me understand and work with my son through the years. I now have a grandson who is just like him. Eight or nine years ago, I sponsored my grandson’s birthday at my house. I had yellow “Do Not Cross” ribbons around the edge of my property, and the children were told not to cross the ribbon. At one point, I saw my grandson approach the ribbon, and I watched as he turned to me and lifted the ribbon and crossed it. Sound familiar? I did take the appropriate action, and, even today, he will not disobey Grammy!
