Product Description:
In just thirty days, you can get children to behave the way you want them to. Whether their misbehavior is as minor as letting the dishes pile up and the trash overflow or as traumatic as a drug habit and stealing, Back in Control will enable you to set and enforce rules that your kids will obey.
Back in Control is based on a highly successful program that has helped thousands of parents regain control over their children. Without compromising your values away or kicking the kids out of the house, it offers you the simplest, most effective method of childhood discipline to date. It presents a three-step formula that is perfect for virtually any adult wanting to control children's misbehavior.
Instead of getting caught up in children's arguments and manipulations, Back in Control shows parents how to reestablish their rightful place as bosses of the family. Teachers are able to devote more time to teaching than to disciplining students. Probation officers and social workers working with parents, in addition to managing their caseloads more effectively, are able to permanently stop children from abusing drugs or alcohol, stealing, running away from home, and being truant. Children themselves learn that there are some rules they must obey, whether they want to or not, and they will grow up believing that they can succeed in doing what is required of them.
Power belongs to those who use it. And if you don't, your children will. If your children's problem behavior is out of hand, it's time you got Back in Control.

Rating:  - My son who is now 40
I first went to Mr Bodenhamers work shop. Then got the book when it came out. I could write a book about what I went through with my son. His common sense plan for working with children work. My son will still say "Never the Less" or "Regardless". This works in many relationships not just teens. Bought it for my daughter she read it and when she used the method it worked but then went back to the same old habits. Just remember saying take the trash out doesn't always work... I loved it when my daughter ... Read More
Rating: - Exactly what I needed
My counselor suggested this book and it was exactly the tool I needed for my son. Fast shipping..
Rating: - Common Sense that works for everyone
I bought this book at a garage sale when my son was only a toddler "just in case" I ever needed it. It remained on the book shelf, unread, until lately when same son is almost 17 years old.
Regardless of the age of the child, this book contains lots of sense without lots of fancy language or the pop psychology ideas that might be misleading you at the moment. It is blunt and to the point. Nothing hard to figure out at all. (Best of all, you don't need the sticker charts or any of that nonsense ... Read More
Rating: - Back in Control
This book is so simple and easy to read and it works - makes you wonder how you lost control in the first place. I wish I had read this book sooner.
Rating: - Already Helping!
I bought this book last month on the recommendation of my best friend, a child psychologist. It's already helping to get the defiance and attitude of my 9 year old under control! It's helped me focus on issues, and not emotions--which then allows the issues to be the focus for her, not my or her emotions. I highly recommend this book! But be careful and don't laugh when you child flings "I"M tired of the word regardless!" at you!
