How in the world can parents "get to a sense of calm", while parenting their teen or tween child who can often times be moody, argumentative and impulsive? What can parents do when their "emotional buttons" are being pushed in parenting and what they really want to do is throttle their child? And how do parents maintain a positive relationship with their teen when they are faced with rudeness and disrespectfulness?

Dr. Kastner, the author of 4 books on parenting, which include The Seven Year Stretch: How Families Work Together to Grow Through Adolescence, The Launching Years: Strategies for Parents from Senior Year to College Life, Getting to Calm: Cool-Headed Strategies for Parenting Tweens and Teens, and Wise-Minded Parenting: 7 Essentials for Raising Successful Tweens and Teens, will be discussing these questions next Monday with host- Lon Woodbury on "Parent Choices for Struggling Teens" on LA TalkRadio.com, channel one, 12:00 noon- February 17th , Monday Pacific Time.
