• Parents ask, “Why can’t s/he just listen?”“Why is there always a power struggle?”“What can’t my kid just behave?
• ““I lose it all the time myself, I feel inadequate.”“We’ve tried everything; nothing works for us.”The problem is that parents and authority figures often respond to kids in the same mode.“How many times have I told you?”“If you don’t….You’ll be grounded!”“That’s the last straw- I’ve had it.
