Is This Normal Teen Behavior — or Something Bigger?

Dr. Scott P. Sells is the founder of the Parenting Your Extreme Teen, the Family Trauma Institute and the author of Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager.
His groundbreaking work with high-risk teens and their families led to the development of the Parenting with Love & Limits (PLL) and FST (Family Systems Trauma) models — used by therapists, treatment centers, and parents across the U.S. and internationally.
He has trained thousands of professionals and supported families facing complex issues such as disrespect, school refusal, lying, anxiety, and tech addiction.
This August, he will release the fully revised Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teen, with new tools, real family stories, and a community-first approach for today’s parents.
