The Whipped Parent: Hope for Parents Raising an Out-Of-Control Teen
This book was written to help the parents of out-of-control teens. These parents ask, "Why is my child acting this way?" and "Where did I go wrong?" and "How can I take back control of my home and my life?" The Whipped Parent offers answers to help parents meet the challenge of raising an out-of-control teen. This book can help parents 1] stop blaming themselves and their adolescents so they can move forward, 2] handle disappoint ment from expectations their adolescents have not met or will not meet, 3] recognize how society has placed unreasonable expectations on today's parents, leaving them emotionally drained and sick, 4] work with community resources, like the courts and schools, when responding to their adolescents' behaviors, and 5] appreciate the humor (yes, humor) that goes along with raising an out-of-control teen. Both parents and professionals will discover that The Whipped Parent is a practical, realistic and easy-to-understand resource for dealing !with an adolescent's frustrating behaviors -- behaviors that can leave even the most experienced parents "whipped." It is written in everyday language, with humor and hope, by experts who work exclusively with adolescents who are "oppositional-defiant" and have conduct disorders. Even the most overwhelmed parent will finish it and feel better! The book features appendixes, worksheets, suggested reading and an index.

The Home Ranch by Ralph Moody, ISBN 0803282109
Little Britches becomes the "man" in his family after his father's early death, taking on the concomitant responsibilities as well as opportunities. During the summer of his twelfth year he works on a cattle ranch in the shadow of Pike's Peak, earning a dollar a day. Little Britches is tested against seasoned cowboys on the range and in the corral. He drives cattle through a dust storm, eats his weight in flapjacks, and falls in love with a blue outlaw horse. Following Little Britches and developing an episode noted near the end of Man of the Family, The Home Ranch continues the adventures of young Ralph Moody. Soon after returning from the ranch, he and his mother and siblings will go east for a new start, described in Mary Emma & Company and The Fields of Home. All these titles have been reprinted as Bison Books.
