Solution Focused Parenting with Difficult Teens is taught by Donald Campbell who has over 40 years experience as a minister, 25 years pastoral counseling experience, and 14 years as a Treatment/Executive Director of two residential treatment facilities for adolescents. It is a hands-on, how-to-do-it course that is under girded by sound theory, but it is not a theoretical course. You will learn how to close the door on past failures, search for solutions that are a best-fit for you--not some make-believe parent and child--how to form and implement change plans, and how to avoid the seven traps that kids set for their parents. In one sense, all teens are difficult. That's part of the growing up process. However if the problems around your house are beginning to tie up all your time and energy, take some time out and complete this course.

 Course Description 'Fix the problem, not the blame' is the watchword of Solution Focused Parenting. It is a hands-on, how-to-do-it course that is under girded by sound theory, but it is not a theoretical course. The principles and techniques have been tested in the laboratory of life. Solution Focused Parenting with Difficult Teens was originally developed for parents of teens who had been placed in residential treatment facilities by the state, but it will work with any teenager. You will learn how to close the door on past failures, search for solutions that are a best-fit for you--not some make-believe parent and child--how to form and implement change plans, and how to avoid the seven traps that kids set for their parents. In one sense, all teens are difficult. That's part of the growing up process. However if the problems around your house are beginning to tie up all your time and energy, take some time out and complete this course. It will give you some tools for managing both your behavior and that of your teen. While many parents have found the on-ground version of this course extremely helpful, no claim is herein made that by using these techniques you will be guaranteed success with a particular problem or group of problems related to parenting. Some situations may be beyond education or re-education issues and require counseling or therapy, for which this class is not a substitute. Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: An Introduction to Solution Focused ParentingWelcome to the solution focused world, where no attempt is made to fix the blame, but to fix the problem. This lesson examines seven foundational principles that will help you begin fixing the problem. | Lesson 2: Dungeons, Dragons, and Demons of the PastAll of us have a past that we cannot relive, and of which cannot undo the consequences. We must learn to close the door on the past so that we might live in the present. | Lesson 3: Identifying the ProblemIt has been said that a problem well-stated is half solved. Stating problems behaviorally, specifically, and in solvable terms is key to successful problem solving. | Lesson 4: Investigating SolutionsFailure can be reduced to three things: failing to act when we should, acting when we should not, and over acting. But no one always fails. Present solutions can often be discovered in these exceptions to failure. | Lesson 5: Finding the Right ConsequencesThe problem has been properly identified. The solution has been clearly defined. What is lacking? Without the right consequences, parents become toothless tigers. They do a lot of roaring, but the kids rule the jungle. | Lesson 6: Seven Traps Kids Set For ParentsTeens are skilled and setting traps and getting parents to walk into them. It is essential that parents know how to recognize these traps. | Lesson 7: Avoding Teen TrapsIn this lesson you will learn how to avoid the traps by abandoning the 3-R method of behavior control in favor of the Triple A method of behavior management. |
