Synopsis

This resource aims to help parents find the abilities they need to change the relationship with their children, and empower them to solve their own problems. Based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a counselling model that focuses on times when a specific problem does not occur instead of why it happens, the book invites parents to discover when they have solved other problems in the workplace, in friendships, and elsewhere outside the home. It then shows parents how to apply their solutions to the situation of concern in the home.

About this title

From the Author:

When you have tried everything else, this book will help!
Kids have changed. Today's kids call for a new approach. When you have tried consequences/rewards and have gotten nowhere, try something very different...doing a 360 degree change. This may mean trying to listen before yelling, or, asking before telling....one thing's for sure, when you do something different with your kids, they will respond differently as well. Best of Luck!
