Parenting Teenagers Discussion Forum

In facilitating groups for parents over the years, I have seen time and again the insight, suggestions and support that parents give to each other. It is far beyond what I, or any therapist I know, has to offer.

In order to facilitate this same mechanism on our website, we have added a Parenting Teenagers Discussion Forum.

Join us today!

In addition to what you may learn; your insight, suggestions and support will prove invaluable to parents across the internet.

Scenario Three

You are at work and the phone on your desk begins to ring. Glancing at the clock, you have a pretty good idea about who is calling. It is just a few moments after 9:00am. The time that the school usually calls to find out why your son isn't in school. You hesitate for a moment, wondering if you should even bother to answer. The new school year is only a little over a month old and you are already on a first name basis with the principal and office staff.

If you take the call, what are you going to say? Should you cover for him like you have every other time? Or should you tell them that he promised you that he would go today? If you do the former, maybe you can convince him to go school tomorrow. If you do the latter, who knows how much trouble you will be getting him into.

He doesn't need any more trouble in his life. The divorce was hard on him and you feel like his difficulties are your fault. As the phone continues to ring, you find something else to occupy your attention. After a few more rings, it stops and you go on about your day.

Scenario Four

You are out at the mall with your daughter shopping for clothes. You hadn't planned on going to the Mall, but when she got home from school, she started in on you. After about 45 minutes, you realized that if you were going to get any semblance of peace today, you had to make the time to take her shopping.

Once you hit the mall, you found yourself almost running to keep up with her. It's almost like you aren't even there...until it comes time to pay for her selections. She settles on a new top that has a price tag far beyond your budget. You try to explain this to her, while getting her to look at something else, but she will have none of it.

In your mind, it is like she is five years old again. She throws a full blown tantrum in the store until, out of a combination of embarrassment and exhaustion, you give in and get her the top.

Still With Me?

Good!

If you are still reading, I have what I hope will be excellent news for you....

If you are willing to invest in a copy of The Adolescent Owner's Manual...

If you take the time to study the material and begin to utilize the parenting strategies and tactics it presents on a consistent, day to day basis...

If you take advantage of the parent "coaching" when you have questions or run into difficulty in implementing the program...

Then I absolutely guarantee you that you can get your child and your life back under control.

Seem like a pretty bold promise?

Probably so.

But it is a guarantee that I have been making to parent's just like yourself for a number of years now.

And you know what...no one has yet asked for their money back.
