Dr. Dobson's are good and read the bible. Prayer makes the biggest difference. Get into a good church with a good youth group. That made the biggest difference in our son. Our son is quite a small young man only 5'2 and wanted to commit suicide because he didn't think he could go through life with the way the world is so cruel on those who do not fit the mold so to speak. Nothing we could do, or say impacted him as we were "his parents"
We got him into a wonderful youth group and this group had a doctor who came on a regular basis. With being loved and accepted in this group my son began to realize that he could do all things through Christ who strenghtened him.
He is now 22 and still the same height but he is graduated from college and has a good job. He is a very happy man.

yeah im sure there are plenty (just a hint they dont work). and your teen will get angrier by knowing your using a book to learn how to discipline them. they will think you are treating them like a new puppy you just got and or learning how to put something together. If your teen is disrespectful it may be because there are family issues you havnt cleared out. or maybe your the one setting the bad example. all you have to do is talk to your teen more. when he/she gets back from school dont let her go with a "fine...", ask questions that wont get a yes or no answer. or maybe you and your husband are divorced? this may also be a problem. whatever you do dont use a book! you dont want her using a book about how to manipulate a mom who is being too bossy.

I dont know but MY MAMA would still kick my A$$ and I will be 32 in DECEMBER. My last whippin was when i was 13 with an extention cord, before that i called her every bad word i could, swung on her a few times and all that. Then i had to take care of myself because she said since i think i am more grown than her she doesnt have to clothe or feed me. She was never there to really discipline but if i FFFd up i knew an a$$ whippin was sure to follow. I had to learn how to cook and by the time i was 16 and could work legally other than babysitting. I had learned several lessons. 1. i cant beat my mother, no matter how big i am. (she's a left-handed hard hitter) 2. i have to work for what i need. and no one is gonna give it to you for free. and 3. NOBODY OWES YOU NOTHING!!!!!!!! If you get it for nothing, you are blessed. To keep being blessed takes effort. And you're not gonna get far being disrespectful to our teachers, mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers and neighbors. And when there is no one left.. we disrespect ourselves. Pray for your strength and her guidance.. and if that don't work... KICK HER A$$ ONE LAST TIME. HIS TOO... WITH A BAT! those last ones hurt my feelings so bad i straightened up quick. and i had all the odds stacked against me. cute, popular, smart, fresh to death everyday. And we lived in the projects, so it was a fight everyday. So i had to cut up.. until that plastic ate my legs up... then i knew what welts were and here i just thought they hurt bad.

You dont need a book,I have worked with a lot of troubled teen,no I am not a proffessional,I am a mother,what I have found to do is to bring yourself back to their age level,respect their feelings,and guide them threw it,if they dont get respect from you then you wont get it from them,teens can be a little difficult but are manageable,bitching and griping will get you absolutely no where with them,calm but stern language and advice will guide you threw and most of all love,dont forget that what you advise and what you do-you do with love

Well, sort of....they are called "Raising Baby"....you waited way too late if you're having teen problems! Dr. Phil McGraw and his son have alot of good information on this problem. It's quite common; you are not alone.

You think this behavior just started? A bit too late now. But I would try one of those Dr Phil books. He seems to have a grasp on this kind of stuff.

You should have started working on this when he was a toddler. I learned this stuff when I was in my second and third year of college. (psychology and child behavior and development classes)

There are probably all kinds of them. But I doubt they are any good or no one would have any bad or undisciplined teens.
