From the popularity of “militant nanny” reality shows to the ever-struggling disciplinary systems in our schools, there’s evidence that more and more kids
are seriously spinning out of control. For any mom or dad who thinks a certain child is just too tough to handle, Kids in Crisis provides a sane, workable plan for successful parenting.

Author Ross Wright culls his wisdom from the trenches, having more than twenty years of experience in the youth care field ranging from work at psychiatric institutes to his current role as executive director of a remarkably successful Christian foster care agency. Inside his engaging analysis of child
development and behavior is the all-important theme of identifying strengths. By helping rebellious young people focus on what they do well, they in turn
learn responsibility by having something to care about, to protect, and to productively share with others.
