Book overview

When your teen’s rebellious behavior "crosses the line," how can you reestablish your authority without getting caught in a power struggle? Bestselling authors and distinguished psychologists Russell Barkley and Arthur Robin have each spent decades helping parents and kids resolve standoffs and repair their relationships. Now they’ve distilled their approach into a clinically proven self-help program that can help you break through to your teen and rebuild trust. Your Defiant Teen centers on 10 simple steps that lead to better behavior. It provides practical guidelines for fostering mutual respect, introducing cooperative problem solving, and strengthening family relationships--while giving your teen vital skills for becoming a mature, independent adult.

Book overview

As the parents of 3 adolescents with some significant cultural struggles, this book was is so helpful in changing our parenting techniques from being the authorities to being more "consultants." There's an incredible relief when the responsibility for making decisions belongs to the teen, and the consequences of the decisions also belongs to the teen. I recommend this book as training in parenting for those of us who think we know how to raise teens, but find our teens are struggling, and it's clear we DON'T know how to do it.

Anyone who interacts with adolescents-including parents, teachers, clinicians, social workers, and police-will benefit from reading Teen Brain, Teen Mind. Written by renowned psychologist Dr. Ron Clavier, Teen Brain, Teen Mind examines the neurological changes in the brain that underlie many of the emotions of young people.
