Are your out of control teenagers so unruly that you just have no energy for anything else? If you're like most people, you probably also work quite a bit. So, by the time you come home, you have no energy or patience left to deal with their lack of respect for your rules. If all this is true, perhaps it's time for some things to change!

If you're saying to yourself, I don't know of any other ways of dealing with my children, then you might very well be at a point where you've just given up. If this is true, then it means that they have won, and are now calling the shots.

You may be down, but you're not out until you say you are. The way to start is to try and forget about at least the recent past. If you try to come to terms with the fact that things just haven't worked out the way you had hoped, then you can be free to find another way. This all may be a blow to your ego, but it's the only way to really affect any significant changes.

One other thing that may be holding you back is that you may be feeling down about your inadequacy to be able to stay in control of your out of control teenagers. What you must do is let go of these kinds of thoughts. You are not perfect, but neither is anyone else. What your mistakes make you is just a human being. The only thing left to do now is to start moving in the right direction!

So, if you haven't started yet, it's time to start. And actually, just by reading this article, you are moving forward, and that is to be commended! Now it is time to consider some new methods of disciplining your children. There are at least a few methods that will work, and as long as you're totally committed to whatever you choose, you should have success.

Imagine, if you will, an atmosphere where there is quiet rather than constant arguing. Where there is respect rather than back talk. You may not think that this is possible, but there are many parents who were once exactly where you are right now, who have transformed their relationships with their out of control teenagers!

Some of this is really about you being open minded to try some new things. Wouldn't it make sense that, if you wanted your household to have peace, quiet, and serenity, that you give that out.

One huge stumbling block can be that you are so used to using the harsh forms of child discipline that just about everyone else has used. You have, most likely, been parented in this manner. And, you have probably seen most of the people around you use strong arm tactics with their children. The question is, are you ready to try something different?
