Author Description

The parenting methods presented in this book are not theoretical fun and games. Rather, they are based on what works and what is needed to raise healthy teenagers with character. Therapist and father of five, Dr Galen Cole, provides information about how to effectively manage your family and teach your teenagers and, the tools to systematically do both. He also provides you with guidance on how to set boundaries, how to contract for desire behaviors, how to motivate your children to do what they say they'll do, how to evaluate performance, and when and how to obtain resources (books, training) or call in a consultant (therapist, religious leader, school counselor) to provide you with insight into how to effectively deal with difficult problems.
