    About this ebook

    Conflict with one's children or students can turn a great day into a miserable one. But avoiding necessary confrontation and the difficulty it can bring isn't the answer, either. What's needed is a guide, a master script, for discussing troublesome issues with a child or teen in a way that ends up better than it starts.
    In this ebook, child and adolescent psychologist, Dr. James Sutton, outlines ten, simple steps for resolving conflicts effectively, even with a "difficult" youngster. The goal becomes one of creating a place for the child or teen to be a part of the solution. One grandmother, facing challenges in raising her 14-year-old granddaughter, was please with the outcomes of the strategy discussed in this book. "It was better than six months of therapy!" she exclaimed.

      Prologue

      Just imagine you could actually resolve the conflicts you have with your child or teen. Imagine also that, with a simple strategy based on your sincerity, good will and your love for that young person, you could approach just about any problem or issue in a way that could have them helping you solve it.
