Product Description
Product Description
The author of "Choice Theory and Reality Therapy" offers a powerful approach for helping troubled teens.
In his decades as a therapist, Dr William Glasser has often counselled parents and teenagers. His advice has healed shattered families and changed lives. Now in his first book on the lessons he has learned, he asks parents to reject the 'common sense' that tells them to 'lay down the law', ground teens, or try to coerce them into changing behaviour. These strategies have never worked, asserts Dr Glasser, and never will. Instead he offers a different approach based upon Choice Theory. Glasser spells out the seven deadly habits parents practiSe and then shows them how to accomplish their goals by changing their own behaviour. Above all, he helps parents keep their relationship with their child strong. Dr Glasser provides a groundbreaking method that any parent can use with confidence and love.

A Must-Read for Parents Struggling with Teens
4 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
William Glasser's book provides valuable insight into the dynamics of parent-teen relationships, and he offers a jargon-free approach that focuses on building the relationship. Glasser offers no magic formula, but parents reading this book will gain a better understanding of their teenager, and, more importantly, begin to understand why the things they are doing now aren't working, and what they might be able to do instead. When neither permissive parenting nor "tough love" have worked (they seldom do, in the long run), this book offers a third way. After reading it, the approach just makes so much sense: at its core is a fundamental approach to all positive relationships, in fact.

Parenting Teenagers Made Easy!
30 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I took a dog training class I was told that it was "I" who needed to change and if I did so properly, the dog would behave as I wanted. Well, Glasser's book basically says the same thing and it's true!
A must read if you have a challenging teen.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was recommended by a counselor and we highly recommend reading it as it helps you think about things differently, not only with your teen but others. Glasser is now a favorite author of ours.
