Positive Discipline for Teenagers
by Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott
The Adlerian Positive Discipline model applied to adolescence: mutual respect, family meetings, curiosity questions instead of lectures, and the difference between control and influence. More collaborative than Love and Logic and longer.
Read it if…
you want a respectful, non-punitive framework for teens.
Skip it if…
you want quick scripts; this is a system.
Three things you will actually use
- Influence replaces control in adolescence.
- Curiosity questions open; lectures close.
- Mistakes are opportunities to learn, for both of you.
Do this first
Hold one family meeting using the book's format.
Our verdict
Respectful and systematic.
