Unplugging Power Struggles . . . is an accessible guide based on real-life experiences which explains why power struggles occur, which power struggles parents will always lose, and offers three effective ways to deal with them. As children grow, they feel a strong need to be in control of their lives. Some parents instinctively let up on the controls as their child matures, while some children push for control beyond the limits of their own development, maturity, or their parents' comfort level. The end result: power struggles. Unplugging Power Struggles . . . explains how to provide the guidance children need and still allow them to develop competency and self-esteem.

Paperback. Children have a strong need to be in control of their own lives. Power struggles between parents and children most often occur in the toddler and teen years, but can happen at any time. This book is for parents whose children push for control beyond the limits of their development and maturity or beyond the parents' comfort level.Without clear guidance from parents, children flounder. However, children who are allowed to make some decisions are more willing to go along with parents when it comes to big decisions concerning safety, values, and conduct. Everyone benefits when a battle of wills can be avoided. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that.
