Resumen del Editor

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

An eye opener

I would recommend this book to every parent that feels like their child’s behavior is spinning out of control with no idea how to stop the freight train. Identifying your child’s issue is just the beginning but at least you have a place to start

Finally

My husband and I have adopted three children, two of whom fit the bill of the antisocial child described in this book. I was brought to tears listening to this book that so accurately illustrated my life.

The information helped me as a teacher to understand my students and their parents struggles.

Parents need this support. Stop the guilt, Learn.

God gave children a free will. You can only mold it. You cannot take it or make the decisions for them. I had five children. 1 and occasionally 2 ruled the house. This would have given me the understanding I needed. It may have reduced the amount of stress and spankings I had to give, which may not have been as fruitful as it should have been as I see some low self esteem in one of them.

They all did very well as adults in work environments despite the fact that 6 out of 7 occupants of our home had. ADD or ADHD, and I was homeschooling! To make things worse we had extended family members who were antisocial. God had mercy on us.

Now the grandchildren will hopefully benefit from this book.

A must read for anyone working with kids.
