By the time children reach adolescence, it’s usually too late to change their behavior. That behavior may or may not be out of control, but it is usually such that a parent’s most common question is, “What can I do?”

The good news is that they can learn to cope. The purpose of this book is to help parents cope and guide their children, not necessarily change them.

This extraordinary book is not just for parents of children who are out of control. It will also help normal families function more smoothly. It will help you understand your adolescent’s behavior, and to successfully cope with situations that you think are beyond anyone’s ability to endure.
