The world has changed a lot in the quarter century since family therapists David and Phyllis York introduced their legendary Toughlove® program for saving teens in crisis. Now, in The Toughlove® Prescription, Dr. Ron Zodkevitch picks up where the Yorks left off to arm parents with an original program for managing teens in today's digitized, R-rated world and averting crises before they start.
From very serious problems such as drug addiction and violence to more common issues like smoking and body piercing, Dr. Zod arms you with the tools you need to deal with the whole gamut of teen-parenting challenges.
You'll learn how to:
Resolve conflicts and restore balance to your family
Spot the signs of drug abuse and stop it in its tracks
Talk to your teen about sex
Work with teachers to keep your child on track at school
Deal with the challenges of divorce and blended families
Recognize the signs of mental illness and manage a mentally ill teen
Although it prescribes discipline and setting limits, The Toughlove® Prescription isn't about turning teens into obedient robots. Rather, it's about keeping the lines of communication open and teaching them responsibility, cooperation, and the wisdom to make correct choices on their own.
