A real-life cowboy, Mike wakes up at the crack of dawn, works the cattle on his ranch, and then counsels some of the country’s most troubled teens, approaching them with a unique blend of down-home honesty, straight-talk discipline, and pure intention that is rarely found in a therapist’s office. Most of the teens Mike treats are children without hope. His extraordinary success rate with these teens has earned him the nickname “The Teen Whisperer,” which is also the name of his best-selling book.

Mike offers a concrete plan to help you address your teen’s needs, amend your words (not just your rules), and rebuild your relationship as you:

  • Create the right approach to positive change
  • Use appropriate praise to establish pure intention
  • Communicate effectively
  • Outline the right set of rules for your child
According to the New York Times,
            Brusquely compassionate, and as fond of a fable as a contemporary Aesop, Mr. Linderman helps parents see the patterns in their teenagers' distress — and understand their own part in it.
