Editorial Review:
A psychologist offers peace-making strategies for parents who don't know where to turn. The sullen, withdrawn, sarcastic teenager. The defensive, wary, and helpless parent. This book builds a bridge between the two sides--with practical and supportive advice on how to: * Contain conflicts before they escalate into violence
* Break through the teen's verbal intimidation
* Avoid futile arguments
* Turn confrontation into communication
* Stand firm against teen rage
* Manage teen manipulation
* Build the teen's self-esteem
* Talk to teens when no one knows what to say For ever parent who's screamed, what am I going to do with you?, this book finally provides the answer.

Rating: - Very Helpfull
Very helpful. I borrowed this from the library and after reading the 1st three chapters decided to buy a copy for reference. Kids are challenging and this book is something you will refer to again and again.

I was an angry, manipulative, moody and depressed adolescent--in fact I wrote about it in my book, CONFESSIONS OF A CATHOLIC SCHOOLGIRL by Michelle Kane.
This book has some outstanding strategies that may have worked if my parents paid enough attention to me and stopped fighting with each other long enough to try some of them.
Rating: - Stop Negotiating with Your Teen
Great book.... I would highly recommend this book for those parents who are at their wits end. This book offers great examples. I have used some of the suggestions in my own home setting.
