HELP! I HAVE A TEENAGER™

HELP! I HAVE A TEENAGER™ practitioner version has been used in groups across the country by therapists for parents who want quick effective techniques for their 9 to 18 year old children. Due to the overwhelming requests from parents who could not attend classes, Dr. Ford has now created this retail version so that you can get the same results at home.

Here's how the power struggle cycle works in everyone's home.

		Normal preteens and teens have to assert their independence, resulting in argumentative power struggles with someone in the family. This leads to a negative experience for the teen and the entire household and negative feedback for the teen. This causes the teen to have a negative self-image. The loss of power and self-image produces more intense power struggles.
	We can quickly intervene in two places.
		Reduce Arguments: Stop the power struggle cycle by using our many quick, effective techniques which parents discuss and demonstrate on the video. Increase Self-Esteem: Increase your teen's self-esteem through a specific plan of action. Parents and experts describe exactly how to do this!
	You will learn how to deal with power struggles, drug use, depression, rebellion, curfews and sibling rivalry with the simple but thorough techniques such as those listed below: Important Tips For Parents From HELP! I HAVE A TEENAGER™ Parenting Video These techniques and many more are included in the video. 1) Don't ever ask a preteen or teen a "why" question. Lovingly state your expectations. Example: Not, "Why is you room always a mess?", but "I expect your room to be cleaned before you go out tonight." 2) Teach your 9 to 18 year olds to go through a simple 5 step process that ensures that they will stop and think, weigh the choices and consequences and assume responsibility for their own choices. 3) Learn the early warning signs of preteen and teen problems and act on them quickly with persistence and love. 4) Use the family mediation process (with written agreements) explained in the video to solve problems and commit to family solutions. 5) Make a list of all of the problems and pick a simple one first. Use the four-step method for turning over responsibility, then follow through with the consequences lovingly. This process of going down the list of problems successfully will free you from the bondage of allowing your happiness to depend on your teen's behavior. Copyright © 1998-2002. All rights reserved.
