If the check into the aforementioned parenting stuff, you might find it helpful. If not, nothing lost. It has helpped me with teen D's.
I just want to second Grace's pitch for the Love and Logic books -- Parenting w/ L & L, and Parenting Teens w/ L & L -- they both just make sense. The techniques within not only teach kids about consequences and responsibility, but also help parents detach from their drama, which can be useful with our MLCers as well.
