Got An Angry Kid features a self-help program called, Parenting Angry Children and Teens. It is directed to parents of out-of-control children. Those children are seemingly unparentable.

• Out-of-control means what it says: parents no longer control their child. Unparentable means what it says, too. There is little the parent can do in the name of reward or punishment that works.
• Got An Angry Kid? introduces Spike and his family. Spike and his family tell the P.A.C.T. story. His family is defined by his out-of-control behavior. Spike may
resemble your child. Spike didn’t become Spike as a result of some cataclysmic
event. He could have. He just didn’t. As it happens, his story is benign
compared to many. Doesn’t really matter. There are lots of ways of making
children miserable. Most of them are benign and unintentional.
• Spike is both worldly and naive. He is, after all, a child. Don’t expect him to
understand a lot of what goes on around him. He does and he doesn’t. He needs
his parents to fill in the gaps. But he won’t accept them.
• Spike is miserable. He needs treatment for emotional disturbance. But he won’t
accept it either. He is miserable both to himself and to those around him.
• The goal of the book is to get Spike’s family to function as a family Spike’s
parents must change how they interact with their son. Got An Angry Kid? will
show parents how to restore control. Spike’s misery will seem much less
significant.
