Rules for unruly children : the parent discipline bible

Rating:
Summary: Great for developing "teenager-proof" rules
Review: As a professional therapist, I have used the material in this book to help families with out-of-control teenagers develop "teenager-proof" rules. Teenagers are particularly good at finding loopholes and exceptions to rules developed by adults. Munger teaches the reader how to come up with very specific rules and consequences, so that there is no room for arguments about "what ifs". He also provides a very nice section about ways to improve communication between the home and the school by creating a daily report card that is easily used by teachers without overburdening them. The only short coming of the book is that its scope is very limited, but it does a great job of thoroughly covering these selected topics.
