"Real-world answers for real parents and real teenagers." - Anthony E. Wolf, Ph.D.

"I found Scott Sells's new book to be amazingly helpful. He really does go to exactly those most difficult places where teenagers step over the line and where there seem to be few effective answers. Dr. Sells gives answers, they are very specific, and they are very practical - real-world answers for real parents and real teenagers. I strongly recommend it for any parent of a truly difficult - or even a not quite so difficult - teenager."
