ABSTRACT
In chapter 1, we exposed the cornucopia of strategies, techniques, and tools employed by parents to deal with the bad, annoying, irresponsible, undesirable, and otherwise pesky behaviors their children present, and the list is extensive. Not only do these ineffective and confusing strategies become the focus (the fertilizer) that anchors the negative behaviors (the weeds), they are also responsible for making things worse because they are used so haphazardly.
