Summary of Jane Nelsen & Lynn Lott's Positive Discipline for Teenagers, Revised 3rd Edition

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The dream teen is what most parents think their teens should be like. The normal teen is what most parents see in their own children, and they often exaggerate those traits. #2 The most dramatic changes with your kids are accompanied by a feeling response from you. Think back to when your kids were potty trained, and how excited you were when they said NO to everything you asked. #3 Stress is the space between your thoughts of how life should be and how life is. You can reduce your stress by becoming aware of the thoughts and looking for ways to change how life is or what you think it should be. #4 The process of separating from your family and becoming an adult is called individuation. It can start as early as ten or eleven and as late as eighteen or nineteen. Some people never individuate, or individuate only after they become adults.
