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.
Book overview
A clear-sighted, accessible look at the teenage mind, from a
new perspective. What should I do when I find out that my
12-year-old daughter is having sex? What can I do when I
find marijuana in my son's backpack and he tells me it's not
an addictive drug? How should I react to my daughter
piercing her tongue? Why is my child an underachiever?
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.
