The information in the triage series is meant to guide you - in real time - with tips to implement right now to manage your child's behavior.
In this Triage Series you'll find brief, 'to-the-point' Suggestions, Videos, Books, and Doc Mike's proprietary 'Ten Commandments for Parenting Adolescents' and his 'Seven Cs of Resilience Building' to safely navigate Scary Teen Times.
Browse these pages explaining common teen crises that can whack your family, along with short pointers on what TO DO to contain the immediate damage until you can get to an expert.
You’ll also find points of what NOT TO DO, things that work as well as using gasoline to put out fires.
To not suffer another crisis get some training to help prevent the next one. Check out other resources we offer on this site including seminars (for parents and professionals) books, and consultations to help with your particular situation.
Step 1 for each of these problems is to manage yourself before you attempt to manage your kid. Punch pillows, scream bad words, cry if you need, then take some deep breaths, make some tea and repeat, “The sun will come up tomorrow.”
Even though you don’t feel it’s true, you also know it’s true.
That can get you through the night. Works for me.
If you’re ready - punched pillows, screamed bad words, gotten a coffee - 'click on' to get some help.
Parenting your teen through today’s world is likely the most complex and challenging thing you’ll ever do.
It’s definitely the most important.
