How to Deal with your Acting Up Teenager:
Practical Self-Help for Desperate Parents
by Robert T. Bayard and Jean Bayard
New York: M. Evans & Company, 1983.
This encouraging book helps parents reframe conflict as
an opportunity for their adolescent children to become more
responsible, with many helpful suggestions how to help
make that possible. Two key principles are stressed. First,
let our youth learn from the consequences of their decisions.
Provided that these are not life-threatening or morally-
threatening, these are the best ways our teens will learn.
Second, even when they are challenging our faith in them,
never stop expressing encouragement.
My suggestion is to read it cover to cover first, to recover your
hope, then slowly again, chapter by chapter and try out the
techniques suggested.
