The bestselling, powerful guide to help parents regain control over a defiant child or teenager, now revised and updated. Occasional clashes between parents and kids are not uncommon, but when behavior like tantrums, resistance to chores, and negativity becomes chronic, it can cause big problems.

Updated to address challenges that today's parents face, this go-to guide includes new information on the rise of defiant behavior due to Internet addiction, and the effects of stress on family life. Dr. Bernstein explains what causes defiance in kids, why it's so destructive to the family, and shows parents step-by-step how they can end the behavior - at home, at school, and everywhere in between.
