"Family therapist Michael Ungar takes us into his world each Wednesday, when he meets with three families with very troubled children. Here, Michael shares a side of himself that is not the all-knowing therapist: he too was a troubled teen, growing up in an emotionally and physically abusive home. Michael shares nine things that all troubled kids need from their parents that will help them turn their lives around and flourish: Structure, Consequences, Parent-child connections, Lots of peer and adult relationships, A powerful identity, A sense of control, A sense of belonging, spirituality, and life purpose, Fair and just treatment by others, and Safety and support. Hopeful in tone, this book shows that it is never too late to help our children change and reconnect with those who will always love them. Michael Ungar is a professor of Social Work and a marriage and family therapist based at Dalhousie University"--Provided by publisher.
