Summary: Excellent book for parents
Review: Practical no-nonsense guide to help parents with problems such as truancy, running away, violence, problems with school performance and behaviors. I am a psychologist that runs a parent program for the juvenile court. I have found this the most useful book and guidelines available. It does take work on the parent's part. The parent must stick with it and be consistent. The results are worth it!

Summary: THE book every parent will benefit from
Review: This book tells it like it is and makes so much sense that it surprising we don't already know it instinctively. Any parent who has a child who is failing, manipulative, lazy, irresponsible and with a million excuses needs to put the control back where it belongs so needs this book badly. I highly recommend it.

Summary: What a Great Book!
Review: We got this book because of problems with our 15 year old son. We started seeing results immediately. Mr. Bodenhamer's techniques are practical. They are easy to use, although I have to say that it does take a great deal of self-control on the parents' parts to maintain the level of consistency. But it's worth it!

Summary: My child was at rock bottom...
Review: We thought we had done everything we could do to help steer our 14 year old son on track from his social as well as criminal behavior. We attended a court-ordered parenting class, and "Parent In Control" was one of the recommended readings. Thank goodness!! This book really sees it from the parent's perspective...no glossing it over from a psychiatric point of view, just plain living with a child who refuses to abide by society's rules...household rules...or legal rules. I only wish I had encountered a book like this when my child was 6. This book tackles your child's behavior from a no-nonsense approach in all areas: school, legal system, home, society. Don't miss it!!
