Is it “just a phase,” or could your child be headed for serious
trouble?
If you sense that your child is seriously troubled, you may feel
bewildered, helpless, ineffective. How can you stop your child from
throwing away his or her life? How can you avoid thinking that
you’ve failed as a parent? In this newly revised and expanded
edition of the classic guide Before It’s Too Late, clinical
psychologist Stanton E. Samenow explains how to break the useless
cycle of blame and take corrective action. Topics include:
* How to understand the personality of the antisocial child
* How to tell the difference between a “phase” and a pattern of
misbehavior
* How to identify the seven common manifestations of antisocial
behavior
* How to cope more effectively as the parent of an older antisocial
child
* How to avoid the six common mistakes that prevent parents from
taking action
* How to step in—early and effectively—before bad behavior becomes
entrenched
