Many tens of thousands of parents have used this book to teach young kids vital skills for living up to their potential. Now Drs.

This positive guide gives parents step-by-step strategies for promoting teens' independence by helping them get organised, stay focused, and control their impulses. Guare and Dawson, joined by Colin Guare, a young adult who has successfully faced these issues himself, present proven tools, vivid stories, and insightful tips for reducing parent–teen conflicts.
