Got An Angry Kid? Parenting Spike, A Seriously Difficult Child

Got An Angry Kid? Parenting Spike, A Seriously Difficult Child is the result of 20 years of experience training parents to manage seriously out-of-control children. It is a case study of a typically oppositional boy. It shows parents, through the "P.A.C.T." program, "Parenting Angry Children and Teens" that there is abundant reason for hope. If parents follow directions closely, they will probably be rewarded with a much calmer household. P.A.C.T.’s approach is novel: it trains the parent instead of the child, regardless of the child’s psychiatric diagnosis. Most parents assume the child should be the target of intervention.

But that often fails. What is the alternative when that happens? Train the Parents instead. Most parents, after finishing the program, wished they had done it years ago. Parents are often startled by how well they can manage an oppositional child. They could not be more surprised by how much a child is willing to give up his resistance to parents when they sharply change their approach. Got An Angry Kid? offers a sensible step-by-step program emphasizing tolerance, patience and acceptance. Parents who are worried about their angry and difficult child’s future should pay close attention to Got An Angry Kid.
