Practical guidance for stepping out of parent-teen power struggles

Janet Sasson Edgette, a clinical psychologist, frames difficult adolescent behavior as a communication and boundary-setting challenge for parents. The book addresses recurring flashpoints including withdrawal, sarcasm, rage, verbal intimidation, and manipulation, with strategies aimed at interrupting arguments before they escalate. Its guidance centers on helping adults hold firm limits while shifting confrontations toward more workable conversation. It also addresses moments when a teen’s low self-esteem, depressed mood, or silence leaves parents unsure how to respond. A focused parenting resource for navigating conflict without treating every disagreement as a negotiation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers of teenagers facing frequent conflict or defiance
  • Adults seeking communication and boundary-setting strategies with adolescents
  • Families navigating teen anger, withdrawal, manipulation, or depressed mood

- Contain conflicts before they escalate into violence
- Break through the teen's verbal intimidation
- Avoid futile arguments
- Turn confrontation into communication
- Stand firm against teen rage
- Manage teen manipulation
- Build the teen's self-esteem
- Talk to teens when no one knows what to say
