This much-needed book will give you the tools needed to help your teen regulate his or her emotions. In addition, you'll learn the skills for managing your own reactions, so you can survive these difficult years and help your teen thrive.

The teen years can be daunting for any parent. But if you are the parent of a teen who lashes out or engages in troubling behavior, you may be unsure of how to respond to your child in a compassionate, constructive way. In this important book, two renowned experts in teen mental health offer you evidence-based skills for dealing with your teen's out-of-control emotions using proven, effective dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

Helping your teen to effectively deal with their feelings now can have a lasting, positive impact on their future. After all, honing skills for emotion regulation will act as a foundation for your teen's overall mental health. This book will help your teen gain awareness of their emotions, and offers tools to help them choose how to respond to these emotions in effective ways.

If you're at your wit's end and are looking to end the drama while keeping yourself sane in the process, this book will be your guide.

A lot of similar stories that drill the main pts home…although many of the pts are repetitive.

Audio version narrator is SO calming. Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed. Great support for things we can’t talk openly about with friends or even family. My teen is only part of the conversation. This has helped me understand him better and how to help him.

So helpful!

This book is extremely practical, concise, validating and constructive. It is the first book my husband has ever agreed to read and appreciated as useful. It will complement anyone learning DBT skills for themselves or the family, as the focus is on acceptance while also pursuing changes, validating feelings but not behaviors, and prioritizing connection vs correction or control. I found especially valuable that it actually “goes there” to acknowledge what you are likely feeling and dealing with on serious issues like disordered eating, self harm, delinquency and affects on siblings. A lot of teen emotional dysregulation parenting self help books stop short of giving actual advice when things get real bad, and just say, “go consult a professional.” By articulating so many of the things I see, feel, and think daily, it made me feel seen and helped me believe that I’m not imagining how extreme my kid is, and also, I truly am doing the best I can even while I can improve.
