If we judge and we assume our child is just being difficult for the sake of being difficult, I think we're missing a big point.

They engage in things because they're drawn to them.

And if we shift our assumptions about what we think our child is about and we kind of follow their lead, they'll show us what they're about.

Thank you so much for having me, Debbie.

It's good to be here.

Oh, I would be happy to.

Thank you.

So I am a clinical psychologist up here in Chicago, and I've been practicing for about 25 years.

And I honestly never, if I'm being completely transparent, never really intended to work with teenagers.

My plan was to work with high functioning adults, nice and easy practice.

And my first when I opened my practice, my first referral resource was a social worker at a high school.

And then my second was, and my third was.

And I realized, boy, I really love these kids.

They've got remarkable strengths that often go untapped.

And even when they are depressed or at their worst, when they're super anxious or angry or defiant,

there's still some spirit there that I really love and admire.

So I've enjoyed my entire career working with them.

About eight years ago, I thought, oh, you know what?

I want to write a book that's a little guide to parents just based on what I see in session.

And that was called The Available Parent.
