317 Work with out-of-control kids is often complicated by rigid or demoralized parents who seemingly won't lift a finger to help their own child. This workshop offers a 7-step model that both educates parents about the reasons their teen is spinning out of control and carefully coaches them, step-by-step, as they take back their power to change their kids. Participants will learn a detailed, graduated process that helps parents identify trigger points with their child, learn effective contracting skills, create strategic consequences, and mobilize a system of family and community support. We'll pay special attention to the often overlooked importance of restoring nurturance once a teen's behavior has been brought under control.
