Product Description

Living with a wilful, aggressive and seemingly incorrigible adolescent behaviour is a nightmare many heartbroken and confused parents face. This book shows parents how to combat an arsenal that ranges from blatant verbal challenges to actual physical violence withour resorting to harsh disciplinary measures, expensive counselling, or hospital-based programmes. The book provides a programme for regaining and maintaining control over preeteens and teens who cause chaos and catastrophe at home, in school and in the community. Using simple vignettes, he describes potentially explosive situations, points out the errors parents commonly make and provides specific solutions. Checklists are provided to help parents chart their progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff works!, 6 April 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Parent in Control: Restore Order in Your Home and Create a Loving Relationship with Your Adolescent (A Fireside book) (Paperback)

We got this book because of problems with our 15 year old son. We started seeing results immediately. Mr. Bodenhamer's techniques are practical. They are easy to use, although I have to say that it does take a great deal of self-control on the parents' parts to maintain the level of consistency. But it's worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars My child was at rock bottom..., 21 July 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parent in Control: Restore Order in Your Home and Create a Loving Relationship with Your Adolescent (A Fireside book) (Paperback)

We thought we had done everything we could do to help steer our 14 year old son on track from his social as well as criminal behavior. We attended a court-ordered parenting class, and "Parent In Control" was one of the recommended readings. Thank goodness!!

This book really sees it from the parent's perspective...no glossing it over from a psychiatric point of view, just plain living with a child who refuses to abide by society's rules...household rules...or legal rules.

I only wish I had encountered a book like this when my child was 6.

This book tackles your child's behavior from a no-nonsense approach in all areas: school, legal system, home, society. Don't miss it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book every parent will benefit from, 11 Jan 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parent in Control: Restore Order in Your Home and Create a Loving Relationship with Your Adolescent (A Fireside book) (Paperback)

This book tells it like it is and makes so much sense that it surprising we don't already know it instinctively. Any parent who has a child who is failing, manipulative, lazy, irresponsible and with a million excuses needs to put the control back where it belongs so needs this book badly. I highly recommend it.
