Description:

You see red -- they see an opportunity! You lose control -- and lose authority! You swore you'd never say things your parents said -- until you open your mouth and there they are! You promise you won't react the same way again -- but you always do ... Sound familiar? Parent educator Bonnie Harris has worked with hundreds of families to get at the root of button-pushing behavior and parents' reactions. Now she offers insight, interactive exercises, and real-life case studies to achieve the ultimate goal of parenting -- to understand both your children's behavior and your own, and break the cycles of action-and-reaction that hurt them as much as they hurt you.
