Program Focus for Parents
1) Learn the Power Struggle Cycle

Top Circle: Need for
Power Struggles Normal preteens and teens
have to assert their independence, resulting in
argumentative power struggles with
someone
in the family.
Next Circle: Argument
with Family/ School This leads to a negative experience for the
teen and the
entire household and negative feedback for the teen.
Next
Circles: Negative experiences, Neg. Self Image, Loss of power....which
leads to ..........More intense POWER STRUGGLES which keep this increasingly
damaging cycle going!
We show you how to quickly get this under control!
