Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager: 7 Steps That Work
Seven clear steps to reestablish authority and reclaim the love in your family — updated for anxiety, depression, trauma, and a screen-driven world.
Every teenager pushes back. But when rebellion turns into something that disrupts your whole family — disrespect, lying, aggression, failing grades, running away — you need more than pat advice.
Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager by Dr. Scott P. Sells gives you seven clear steps to reestablish your authority and reclaim the love in your family:
Learn the real reasons behind teen misbehavior.
Make an ironclad contract that actually stops the behavior.
End button-pushing for good.
Stop the "seven aces" — from disrespect to threats of violence.
Mobilize outside help (it takes a village).
Reclaim the lost love in your family.
The updated edition also addresses what today's teens face: anxiety, depression, trauma, and a screen-driven world. Clear, compassionate, and packed with real solutions — this book can help turn your family around.
