Is it always a parent's fault if a child grows up to become unruly, disruptive, or even destructive? Are parents always to blame for children “growing up wrong”? Is it possible that good parents can raise bad kids?

Is it always a parent's fault if a child grows up to become unruly, disruptive, or even destructive? Are parents always to blame for children “growing up wrong”? Is it possible that good parents can raise bad kids? Nationally recognized psychologist James Garbarino and child advocate Claire Bedard present tough-minded yet compassionate tactics for parents of children who don't make headlines-but who are exceptionally difficult and disruptive of normal family life.
