Book Description

November 19, 2003
Dr. Schauers, a seasoned and respected child psychologist, has worked with the unmistakable reality that some kids are just much harder to raise, and that the climate between parent and kid often reaches a dangerous flashpoint. Because the stakes are so high, only the most effective methods are to be used in reaching these disruptive, oppositional, though still priceless kids. As a psychologist, parent and educator, he offers a practical, insightful and often amusing system for regaining the best kind of authority with the recalcitrant child. His system has proven effective with toddlers to teens and, when started early, may prevent what can become a very antagonizing lapse in parental leadership. Kid Kontrol is particularly intended for the dangerously obstinate young person, the rebellious teenager, who needs the most effective guidance at a time when he or she resists it the most. This resistance can result in years of lost opportunity in preparing for adulthood; all the while important growth is stalled or even sliding toward more destructive, antisocial behavior. The Kid Kontrol system is a gradual process for connecting predictable costs or negative consequences to a kid's inappropriate choices, while consistently attaching clear advantage to his wise decisions. This system and its methods have been carefully polished over a generation of roadtested application, and has successfully helped parents in shifting to a shared accountability for their young person's actions. The "heart" of Kid Kontrol is a manageable set of assigned consequences for unacceptable behavior while specifically nourishing targeted improvement.
