You've known better in the middle of doing it, and done it anyway.

You've raised your voice over something that didn't deserve it, or gone silent instead, and either way you knew it wasn't really about what just happened.

You've needed to be right about something small enough that being wrong wouldn't have cost you anything.

You've watched yourself avoid a conversation you knew you needed to have, and told yourself you'd deal with it later.

You've noticed the same conflict finding you in different relationships, with different people, wearing different clothes.

Most people call this personality. A short fuse. Being conflict-avoidant. Just how I am.

Somewhere years ago, one of these responses worked. Raising your voice kept people from getting close enough to hurt you. Going silent kept you safe. Needing to be right kept you in control. Avoiding the hard conversation kept you from getting hurt again. Your brain filed it away as a strategy worth keeping, and it never got the memo that you grew up.

That strategy is still running. Right now, in your adult relationships, your job, your marriage, your friendships. It fires before you've had a single conscious thought about it. It was built to protect a kid who needed protecting.

Child in Charge is about what happens when those old strategies keep making decisions for the adult you've become.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and twenty-five years working with families in crisis, Mark maps fifty-five of these strategies into a simple system of three categories, one that lets you classify almost any behavior you or someone you love falls into and understand exactly what it's doing there.

You'll start to see these patterns everywhere. In yourself, in your kids, in the people you work with and love. Once you see them, you can't unsee them.

You'll finally understand why insight alone hasn't been enough to change your behavior, and what it actually takes to install something new in its place.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mark A. Linsenbardt has spent more than twenty years working with parents, teenagers, professionals, and judges - teaching the science of how brains work and what people can do with that information. His Neurons and Narratives series is the distillation of that work: a Parent Edition, a Teen Edition, and a Family Workbook currently in development, each written to give families the neuroscience of adolescence in language built for real life, not a classroom.The books draw on research in developmental neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and family systems theory - and on the understanding that none of us operate in a vacuum. A teenager's behavior makes sense inside their family system. A parent's response makes sense inside their own history. Neurons and Narratives was written to both sides of that dynamic because changing one without the other rarely works.For nearly all of the past twenty years, Mark has worked directly with teenagers - teaching leadership to young people in JROTC programs nationwide, and working alongside teens navigating addiction, legal trouble, and the hard work of rebuilding. That direct experience shapes everything about how the Teen Edition is written. Written not at teenagers, but with them in mind as the actual audience, with the respect that comes from knowing what those teens are genuinely capable of.For fourteen years, Mark has facilitated family workshops through ResetYourLife and conducted Recovery Camps for specialty courts - drug courts, juvenile courts, and court-mandated family programs where the stakes are as high as they get. He has delivered workshops and keynote addresses on trauma to a wide range of audiences, including judges and judicial employees throughout Nevada, and has spent more than two decades on stages ranging from intimate seminars to large conferences.As chief officer of content development for Sapient America, Mark has built tools - books, discussion cards, educational games, and guided programs that serve the recovery and mental health community. Neurons and Narratives is an extension of that mission into the family system, bringing the same science-based, plainly communicated approach to the parents and teenagers who need it most.Mark has been writing and publishing since 1997. A Las Vegas native, he is a popular speaker for conventions, conferences, and judicial training events throughout the region and nationwide.
