by Sean Grover (Author)

If you want to fix your rebellious and disrespectful child, you need to start by fixing yourself.

Are your kids pummeling you with demands and bossing you around with impunity? Have your once-precious preschoolers become rebellious, entitled, and disrespectful to authority? While there are plenty of so-called experts who might try to validate your convictions that you have done all you can to "fix" your "difficult" children, the hard truth is, they're not doing you any favors by placing the responsibility solely on your children. Parenting struggles rarely originate from just one side. Instead, they erupt at the volatile intersection of a child's personality with a parent's own insecurities and behaviors.

In When Kids Call the Shots, therapist and parenting expert Sean Grover untangles the forces driving family dysfunction, and helps parents assume their leadership roles once again. Parents will discover:

  • Three common bullying styles used by kids
  • Parenting styles that contribute to power balances
  • Critical testing periods in a child's development
  • Coping mechanisms that backfire
  • Personalized plans for calmly exerting authority in any scenario

The solution to any problem begins with learning to control what you can control. In parenting, you've already learned how impossible it is to control your kids. Begin by controlling you!

But parenting doesn't have to be this hard. When Kids Call the Shots opens your eyes to the root cause of your child's bossy behavior, with a liberating message and perceptive advice that puts your family on a healthier, happier path. With this sanity-saving book, you'll: - Recognize the three most common bullying styles that our kids use against us--anxious, defiant, and manipulative--and learn strategies to restore your leadership - Understand how your own insecurities and personal history have shaped your parenting choices - Discover the three parenting styles--guilt-prone, anxiety-fueled, and fix-everything--that are most likely to provoke disruptive behavior in children - See how troubling behaviors are often triggered by conflicts between your child's personality and your parenting style - Be alert to the critical "testing" periods in children's development that fuel conflicts with their parents - See how increasing self-care and eliminating burnout can strengthen your parental leadership role - Know exactly what to do when your child acts out - Reclaim your parent power, and bring back the joys of family life "Inspired and practical thinking by one of the finest therapists in the field." --Julie Y.
