TOUGH LOVETough Love is hope. It is help. It is a way of recovery for drug abusers, and a positive, supportive program for their families.
Tough Love is a gift of love and a gift of life for those who practice its plan. It is a book for all parents, especially those whose children are now on drugs or are exposed to those who use drugs.
Pauline Neff has gathered enthralling, real-life accounts of young drug users who needed help and of their parents’ role in seeing that they received it. Eight families describe, in very graphic, heartrending terms, how their children successfully beat the drug habit through the Palmer Drug Abuse Program.
PDAP is a privately financed twelve-step program, similar to the steps of AA. Ms. Neff explains each step to show how families can interpret and work through these steps in their own lives. Thousands of young people have found help through this method. Families have been reunited, and parents’ own lives have been changed drastically in the process.
If you are a parent of a young person in America today, tough love may be the most important book you will ever read. It may save your life.

Strong Willed Child Or Dreamer
$18.99Add to cartContents
239 Pages/17 Chapters
Additional Info
Your child may be a dreamer if…
*He forgets to follow instructions, no matter how clear and simple you make them.
*She craves praise and positive attention, yet refuses to conform to what’s expected.
*He complains often about feeling misunderstood, picked on, or persecuted.
*She tells more than her share of fibs, lies, or tall tales.If these statements describe your child, you know the frustration of turning to parenting experts for advice only to find that with your child, the systems don’t work, the rules don’t stick, and the strong boundary setting seems to make the situation worse. What’s even more frustrations is seeing that these methods do work-with strong-willed children.
According to child and family counselors, Ron L. Braund and Dana Scott Spears, the problem may be that you don’t have a strong-willed child. Your child’s behavior may actually indicate that he or she is a creative-sensitive child, a dreamer: principle-oriented rather than rule-oriented, highly creative, sensitive to the point of taking offense where none is intended, and frustrated at a world that fails to live up to the ideal.
In this book, the authors explain the differences between the dreamer and the strong-willed child. They also provide advice on parenting your dreamer child from infancy through adolescence, plus a special chapter on the dreamer child with attention deficit disorder.
Whether you are the teacher, coach, clergy, or parent of a dreamer, this book will help you understand how these enigmatic children view the world and teach you how to give them what they need to thrive.
