Power struggles between parents and teens are nothing new, but chronic control battles are destructive to teen development as well as the entire family. According to psychotherapist Neil Brown, these battles occur as the result of self-perpetuating negative relationship patterns.
Chock-full of powerful and easy-to-use evidence-based tools, this book will help you understand and end the painful tug-of-war with your teen and foster a peaceful and loving home environment. In virtually all families, there are moments when teens are unhappy with parental limits, rules, and requests - as well as times when those kids are disobedient or noncompliant, or get caught up in the moment and make bad decisions. But the parent-teen control battle goes beyond this; it’s a chronic relationship pattern that uses up the family’s emotional resources and can seriously impact child identity, self-esteem, and development, resulting in destructive behavior and causing stress for everyone around. This book offers a thorough understanding of the control battle and a clear prescription to end it.
With Ending the Parent-Teen Control Battle, you’ll learn about the three elements that support this chronic conflict - reactivity, negative emotional tone, and being “other-person focused” - and discover the two key changes that can be made to address the underlying issues, allowing you to move toward a more positive way of seeing your teen while creating vital behavioral change. Using tools based in structural family therapy (SFT), which targets the core relationship pattern driving the control battle, you’ll be able to address specific issues and create a healthier pattern.
If you’re tired of the constant battle for control and you’re ready to cultivate a more loving, peaceful, and supportive environment for the whole family, this book has the skills and understanding you need to be successful, no matter what you and your teen face.

I think most of what was in this book is pretty good but we’ll see how it works out as I try implementing it. However, the author is very supportive of the troubled teen industry send away programs and there has been all this information revealed in recent years about how abusive most of those programs are. Like, kids have died, and been horribly sexually abused. It’s wide spread, there’s no real regulations for these places, they’re often run by for profit prison companies and there are very few professionals of any kind working at them. Please think twice before sending your kids to these types of places. They are scams to steal your money at best, and straight up dangerous to your children at worst.
Pretty good

I think things in this book can be extrapolated and applied to relationships with others (adults and children), aside from just our teens.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Alan Taylor ). I think he reads this content well. His narration helped put forth the information in an engaging way. His pace and expression was appropriate.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
