Reclaiming Parental Authority
Copyright :

Explore ways of enhancing parents’ ability to find their authentic voice and assert a shaping influence in their children’s lives by:

  • Understanding the reluctance of post-boomer parents to assert their authority.
  • Making explicit the unstated parental fears that often disempower parents and enable their kids to hold them hostage.
  • Bringing the child’s Second Family-their network of significant friendships-into the therapy room.
  • Combating parental isolation through facilitating home-school partnerships and communication among parents.
  • Helping parents assert genuine authority through “I Mean It” moments in which they express themselves as three-dimensional human beings.

OBJECTIVES

  1. Discuss and demonstrate concrete techniques to increase parental authority--even when teens refuse treatment.
