Stubbornness and back talk are common (albeit unwelcome) signs of independence in normally developing children. This program, filmed in real family settings, demonstrates how positive discipline techniques, including home rules, problem-solving, and honest communication, can be used to deal with the behavior problems associated with growing up. Points to consider in a pre-discipline review are also offered: Is the child angry? Did something happen at school? Or could it be the start of puberty?
