When Entitlement Doesn't Work Anymore

We parents are entitled. We bring our kids into this world. We raise them. We make the sacrifices and compromises. And when they hit the teenage years we should not have to give up control. We are entitled. By definition.

And more often than not our way works. Most of us get through the care and feeding of our adolescent offspring relatively intact. But some of us don't.

Lessons Along the Pathway is for those of us on the other side of the street. Together with the DVD, the Lessons will teach you how to begin speaking the Language of Power when dealing with your teenagers. As you will see, it was written by someone who has been there!
When entitlement doesn't work anymore, try empowerment!
