A psychologist offers peace-making strategies for parents who don't know where to turn. The sullen, withdrawn, sarcastic teenager. The defensive, wary, and helpless parent. This book builds a bridge between the two sides--with practical and supportive advice on how to: * Contain conflicts before they escalate into violence * Break through the teen's verbal intimidation * Avoid futile arguments * Turn confrontation into communication * Stand firm against teen rage * Manage teen manipulation * Build the teen's self-esteem * Talk to teens when no one knows what to say For ever parent who's screamed, what am I going to do with you?, this book finally provides the answer.
