Take Control of Your Defiant Teen

If you have a troubled or defiant teen at home, then you need to take control of such teen. If you don’t assert your power or show authority as a parent, you’ll get some of the reactions from a defiant teen listed below.

  • Your teen friends and social circle will be the only ideals for him or her and the teen will follow the directions of his/her social circle.
  • You will face constant arguments and nerve breaking strains while communicating with teen.
  • You will observe that the teen himself/herself is taking hold of the power at home by his or her disruptive behaviors on daily basis.
  • Conflicts among your spouse may arise on parenting issue. You and your spouse end up blaming each other for the defiant behavior of teen.
  • The decisions will no longer be in your hand. Either you would seek advice of a counselor or go for other options like a boot camp, boarding school, wilderness program or treatment center etc
