Do you have someone in your life that knows more and knows better? Do the rules apply to everyone else, but not them? Do they think they are special and more important than everyone else? Do they take your concerns as criticism. They can be critical of others, but they hate to be criticized in any way? Do they blame other people when they are angry, upset or act inappropriately? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you may be dealing with a narcissist. Learn how to get the upper hand!

When nice people are asked to do things, those who feel insecure may be tempted to say "yes" more often than not. They need to create reasonable boundaries that allow a certain element of personal freedom of choice. Without these boundaries, what tends to happen is that others use nice people as doormats. It's a fact of life that there are givers and takers that make up the human race. Givers are those who tend to put other people's needs before their own. Takers are those who profit from the generosity of kind people.

Teens are at a very difficult age when they are trying to jump, perhaps too quickly, from childhood to adulthood. Thus, they are looking to find their own identity. At the same time, they are living with changes which are happening to their bodies, while also trying to come to terms with how relationships work. It's no wonder there is such a great deal of confusion for both teens and parents. This book was written as a guide to parents to bring better understanding to boundaries: when to set them and when to allow your teen freedom to grow and explore.
